# To make a table that has column1 = 0.05, 0.1. Then follow the description below to do arithmetic on the columns with awk or the 'plot using' command. Instead of loading variables into a vector and multiplying vectors together, I usually just make a table where the values of each vector are represented by a column. Vectors / plotting data from a file / plotting single points The linestyle command is a shortcut to changing the points and line types each time. Storing and using a line type and point type Set arrow from 1,2 to 4,8.4 nohead lt -1 lw 1.2 # use the arrow command with nohead to draw just a line: # lw chooses a line width 1=normal, can use 0.8, 0.3, 1.5, 3, etc. # lt must be specified before pt for coloured points # type 'test' to see the colours and point types available. # 7=filled circle, 8=triangle, 9=filled triangle, etc. # type 'test' to see the colours and point types available # for errorbar options type 'help plot errorbars' # choice of points, lines, linespoints, steps, boxes, errorbars, impulses, etc. # the noautoscale, xrange, yrange change the x- and y-limits Probably the easiest way to work edit the command file in one shell and have a second shell running GnuPlot where I simply keep loading in the new command file and it makes a new eps file each time I load, and then a third shell running ghostview to view the eps file. Note: Most of the following examples were taken directly from Patrick Hartigan's site. gnuplot_i can be downloaded here: Examples Gnuplot_i is an interface that allows a running program in Fortran or C to pass data to GnuPlot for plotting.

There are several contexts where you can specify color of plot elements. \ Backslash escapes control characters to render them as themselves. Scale ("fontsize" and "fontscale" are numbers).
