Ok, and the important question: should there be a simpler way inside Gnuplot?
I think the graph can be easily described. With this data:
Burj Dubai, 818
KVLY-TV mast, 628.8
CN Tower, 553.3
Sears Tower, 527.3
Taipei 101, 509.2
You could say:
For each data line, plot y=$2 with title $1, without clearing the screen between plots.
I have seen a similarity with the reread command (
http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/node151.html).
In fact, the graph I want could be made a specific case of a more general multi-plot graphing system. Imagine this data:
Quadratic, x**2
Five, 5
Sinus, sin(x)
gnuplot could parse this and plot $2 with title $1, all in the same place (so you would see the solution to x**2=5).
Could this be useful in general? Is it a good idea to extend gnuplot to handle this?
