gnuplot> set term png
Terminal type set to 'png'
gnuplot> set output "output.png"
gnuplot> plot "data.txt" using 1:2 with lines
however, the date is not read properly by gnuplot. Do you have any ideas?
solved:
set term png xffffff
set output "output.png"
set size 17,17
set title "HTTP payload size and response time"
set style data fsteps
set xlabel "Date"
set timefmt "%s"
set format x "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"
set xdata time
set ylabel "Payload/Response time"
set grid
set key left
plot 'response' usi 1:2 with linespoints
Answer
Sorry, can't seem to delete. Was going to suggest:
set xdata time
set timefmt "%s"
set format x "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"
plot "file.txt" using 1:2 with linespoints
But it truncates the fraction and drops points from the line.
