I have the following dat file, named ls.dat
:
# Gnuplot script file for "ls"
# Version Removed Added Modified
8.1 0 0 0
8.4 0 0 4
8.5 2 5 9
8.6 2 7 51
8.7 2 7 51
8.8 2 7 51
8.9 2 7 51
8.10 2 7 51
8.11 2 8 112
8.12 2 8 112
8.13 2 17 175
8.17 6 33 213
I am trying to plot with this:
plot "ls.dat" using 1:2 title 'Removed' with lines,\
"ls.dat" using 1:3 title 'Added' with lines,\
"ls.dat" using 1:4 title 'Modified' with lines
This produces the following graph:
What I am expecting is three line plots which should all go up, but at different rates. Can anyone see what is going on here? I'm sure it must be something very silly.
I think your problem is your version numbers. Try making 8.1 --> 8.01, and so forth. That should put the points in the right order.
Alternatively, you could plot using X
, where X is the column number you want, instead of using 1:X
. That will plot those values on the y axis and integers on the x axis. Try:
plot "ls.dat" using 2 title 'Removed' with lines, \
"ls.dat" using 3 title 'Added' with lines, \
"ls.dat" using 4 title 'Modified' with lines
