gnuplot ignores divisor of csv-column values

I am using gnuplot to draw a histogram of a series of RAM measurements I performed. However, I want it to display the values that are stored in Bytes in CSV files in KB. I divided the respective columns by 1024, but gnuplot simply ignores that. Below you see the template that is changed by a script to have meaningful file names for CSVF...

Errors in Gnuplot PDF output

I'm trying to plot data with Gnuplot where all data values are positive. However, when plotting to PDF some of the output values appear negative under the x-axis: http://tinypic.com/r/14iztbs/7 This does not happen when plotting to PNG. Reducing the line width helps to mitigate this issue, but this is not really a solution. How can i ...

plotting very long time series - scroll bars?

I have a very long time series of data to plot, and if I "zoom in" enough to see the interesting features, I can only look at a very small section of the data, and must replot every time I want to look at a different time window. What I would like is a solution that gives me a graph with a horizontal scroll bar so I can browse around wi...

Why a .png converted from a gnuplot postscript output, has transparent background?

I used gnuplot (4.2) to write a graph to a postscript file. But when I convert this .ps file to a .png file using the 'convert file.ps file.png' command, I get a png image which has no background (transparent). Why does this happen, and how do I get a png image with a white background? ...

Combine clustered and errorbar histogram-style in gnuplot

I'd like draw a clustered histogram with gnuplot that has errorbars. I have not figured out any way to combine the styles. Since I want to use it for a LaTeX-document I'd even go with pgfplots, but that also seems impossible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

z-order of Gnuplot functions or order in key

You can change the z-order of two functions plotted together by reordering the order they appear in the plot function, but this also changes the order in the key. Is there a way to reorder either the order the function appears in the key or the z-order independently of the order it appears in the plot function? ...

Line plot in GnuPlot where line color is a third column in my data file?

Hi Everyone, I have a datafile that looks like this: 1 1.0 0 2 1.5 0 3 0.0 1 4 1.2 2 5 1.0 1 6 1.1 1 where the first column is my X value, the second column is my Y value, and the third column is a color. I'd like for each line segment to be colored according to the third column. So the first two line segments would be "color 1", th...

GNUplot: data labels are printed on top of each other when a multiplot is created

I have created a plot made up of four subplots; each subplot is a bar chart. Above the smaller bars I want to print how many units on the y-scale the bar represents. To do this I use 'set label', which works fine if I create individual files for the subplots, but not if I use multiplot. In this case the labels are successively printed on...

The gnuplot script is called by a bash scripts which alters the gnu plot script using sed. This is a snipit of the an old bash script (ugly I'm sure). sed -i 's/C = CONCE...
