Thomas,

It sometimes helps to be thinking in a different box.

Thanks!

Re: Coloring surfaces between contour lines

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, this is not what I mean. Your
solution would lead to something like this image:
http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/1726/example2v.png

Of course, I only tried your solution for three colors like in your
example but this only seems to affect the pm3d map. I really want a result
like in this image: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/5128/example3x.png

(I only filled in two surfaces, but the general idea should be clear from
this)

I really don't know if this is possible at all, but if someone knows,
please let me know.

Re: Coloring surfaces between contour lines

2009-11-10T07:47:32Z

define a color palette with color steps instead of a gradient, e.g.:

set palette model RGB defined (0 "green", 1 "green", 1 "yellow", 2 "yellow", 2 "red", 3 "red" )
test palette

or

set palette model RGB defined (0 "green", 1 "yellow", 2 "red")
set palette maxcolors 3
test palette

Re: Plotting boxes from origin other than 0

2009-11-10T00:29:51Z

use y-axis for the scale, y2-axis for plotting:
(assumption: your data goes from -110 up to e.g. -50)

set yrange [-110:-50]
set y2range [0:60]
plot 'datafilename' using 1:($2+110) axes x1y2 with boxes

That is I add 110 to all y values, then make a fake y label that has

Can I do this without all the external processing?

If all such lines are strictly single (no sequences of joined lines),
you might be better off doing a plot "with vectors".

Or you could transform your datafile into a massive list of 'set arrow'
commands and load that as a gnuplot script, then make a dummy plot to
display them. Each arrow even gets to have its own width.

Re: public transport plotting again

assuming that the number of different line thicknesses is limited
the following could work:

data file:
1 2 3 4 1
3 4 2 1 2
2 1 4 2 3

plot script:
set xrange [0:5]
set yrange [0:5]
plot "datafilename" using ($5==1?$1:0/0):2:($3-$1):($4-$2) with vector nohead linetype 1 linewidth 1, \
"" using ($5==2?$1:0/0):2:($3-$1):($4-$2) with vector nohead linetype 1 linewidth 2, \
"" using ($5==3?$1:0/0):2:($3-$1):($4-$2) with vector nohead linetype 1 linewidth 3

you may specify a range of 'column 5'-values for a single line width:
using ($5>0&&$5<2?$1:0/0):.....

The luxury variant would be to have linewidth determined by an entry

Something like

"using ::::5 with lines linewidth variable"

Any help will be appreciated.

The problem comes from your apparent aversion to usual notation for big
numbers, i.e. from spelling out 1*10**12 when you should have just
written 1e12. The problem is that 10**12, as writtten, is an operation
on integers, so it'll be evaluated in integers. But 10**12 is quite
certainly larger than all integers on your machine, so this doesn't do
anywhere near what you think it should:

gnuplot> print 10**12
-727379968
gnuplot> print 1.0*10**12
-727379968.0
gnuplot> print 1*10.0**12

User defined functions and y-axis labels

2009-11-08T05:20:59Z

Dear all,

first of all thank you so much for the help on my last question.
I am now doing a mathematics modeling portfolio, and I need to plot a
function.

Question 1
I have the following code written in a textfile

set grid
set ylabel "Amount"
set xlabel "Hours"
q=1.124
b=50000
a=1000000
f(x)=(q**x*a)-b*((1-q**x)/(1-q))
g(x)=1*10**12
plot [0:200] [1.0*10**6:1.5*10**12] f(x), g(x)

However, whenever I try to plot the function f(x), I cannot see it in the
graphing window.
I tried decreasing the values for constants b and a to 50 and 1000
respectively, and then the graph *does *appear, but when I increase the
values
there is no graph. What is the obvious mistake that I'm making? The scale
should be fine at least according to preliminary graphs on a graphing
calculator.

Question 2

When I plot big values in gnuplot, the y-axis labels are first written as
8000000, 9000000 and then the label changes to "calculator notation"
with the "e". I want the labels to be for example 8.0*10^6. I tried changing
the notation by using the command
set format y "10^{%L} , but then the labels become just 10^8, 10^9 and so
forth. Is there a possibility that I could change this?

Thank you once again for the huge help!

Problem with gnuplot/Aquaterm on MacOs Snow Leopard

2009-11-06T23:53:15Z

Hello everyone,
I recently installed gnuplot version 4.2 on my Mac (OS is 10.6.1, Snow
Leopard), using MacPorts.
It works, but only on Terminals different from 'aqua'. When 'aqua' is
set and I want to plot something, say:
gnuplot> plot sin(x)
Aquaterm is called, but no window (and then no graphic) is shown... It
remains there, like if it'd try to compute, but really doing
nothing... If I close Aquaterm it says:
AquaTerm warning: Connection to display was lost,
plot commands will be discarded until a new plot is started.
gnuplot>

What's wrong?

Thank you in advance!

0.01,0,0.5153,0.2015
0.01,1,-0.2869,0.3255
....
....

My objective is to plot the 3rd variable against the 1st one only if the 2nd variable is equal to 1.

I've got so far the basic plot function:
gnuplot>plot "/myfile_path/myfile.csv" using 1:3

Does anybody know how I could solve my problem quickly?

Thanks,

Olivier.

Thank-you so much. It is weird because it was sent to me with the [15:15] I should have questioned it further. Thanks again. All the best!

Hey guys,
This is my first post here. I would really appreciate any insight you could give me.

Basically I am running GNU Plot on an "input file" which basically fits curves to a datafile. I was curious if someone could help me with an error message I keep getting.

Here is the end of the code and the message:
plot [ 14 : 90 ][ 15: 15 ] 'data.dat' u 0:12 ,l(x),l1(x),l2(x),l3(x),b(x)
"inputfile.txt", line 34: Can't plot with an empty y range!

"data.dat" is the data file that is being plotted using the fit parameters l(x),l1(x) etc.

How would I compensate for the "empty y range" and allow for the plots to be created?

I greatly appreciate any help. I am new to GNU Plot. The input file was given to me and didn't really work. I am still unsure as to what the [XX:XX][YY:YY] terms mean (I know [14:90] is the columns to plot but not sure what the [15:15] corresponds to as the data is a matrix 12 rows wide).

plot [xmin:xmax] [ymin:ymax] ...

[xmin:xmax] is the x-range to be plotted
[ymin:ymax] is the y-range to be plotted, so [15:15] doesn't make any sense

you should have a look at the manual:

Re: gnuplot on Ubuntu Linux

2009-11-04T00:22:56Z

- install a c-compiler on your system (if it isn't already there)
- get the gnuplot source (see http://www.gnuplot.info/download.html)
- unpack it (tar -xvf gnuplot-4.2.6.tar.gz)
- 'cd' into the source directory (cd gnuplot-4.2.6)
- read INSTALL and follow the instructions therein

Re: Vector plot, sample length

2009-11-04T00:15:10Z

set arrow 1 from xstart,ystart to xstart+dx,ystart+dy
set label 1 "5cm" at xstart+0.5*dx,ystart+0.5*dy

choose xstart,ystart to place the arrow at an appropriate place
and dx and dy to give the arrow length the required length.

Hello,

I am using gnuplot in the following way :

Up to the point, everything is ok...

My issue is to have a scaled sample for the vector field key...

e.g. : I want to display a sample with for example "5 cm" displayed next to it, and the displayed length match a "5 cm" vector on the map... (not on the screen of course)

What would be the better way to do that ?

"Paket verz\134\042ogert"
should work

Latex Escape in Data Files

2009-11-03T06:29:34Z

Hello Gnuplot-Gurus,

I generating graphs using the epslatex terminal. I have to use german umlaute in the labels and legend.

I managed to get umlaute working when I put them into the plot file: '\\\"a' in the plot file will give me a '\"a' in the tex file and an 'ä' in the document.

Now however I need to use umlaute in the data file as well. I'm using "t col" in my plot command to extract the key for the graph from the data file. In the datafile I'm using labels with spaces, so I enclosed them with "".

Example:

I want in the .tex: Paket verz\"ogert
I put in the data: "Paket verz\\\"ogert"
I get in the .tex: Paket verz\

How can I properly escape the " in the data file?

Regards,
Damian Philipp

Re: gnuplot CVS compilation

2009-11-03T03:50:41Z

Hello

I do not have enough knowledge of autotools on unixy system.
However, I have been building cvs version of gnuplot on cygwin.

At the cygwin prompt.
$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html>

I have never met troubles when I execute the './prepare' script that uses autotools.

Perhaps problem lies on different place.

gnuplot CVS compilation

2009-11-03T00:00:04Z

Hello friends,

as my demand of real work with newer gnuplot features comes closer,
and time didnt resolve the issue, I tried compiling gnuplot 4.3 from
CVS. The gnuplot website provides a script which is supposed to do
the job:

http://www.gnuplot.info/development/sample_osx_installation.html

I tried this script on a Tiger 10.4.11 PPC with macports 1.8.1
installed, and get the following output messages:

http://verkehrsplanung.com/TerminalAusgabeGnuplot.txt

There comes the line
"You need automake newer 1.8 (fink helps)!!"

AFAIK macports does only provide automake 1.11 and 1.7 - do I have to
bother?

I'd be very grateful if somebody could have a brief look and give me
some hints for troubleshooting.

Greetings,

Wolf
