[Gnuplot-info] Beautify my plots

[Guy S. <guy...@fi...>]

Given the following command and data file, what commands can I add to make
my plot more appealing to the eye?  I am creating this (and many more) via
an automated process that must be viewed via a web browser, so I have chosen
png, but if there is a better choice, I'd love to hear it.


set title "CPU utilization %usr"
set xlabel "Time"
set xdata time
set timefmt "%m/%d/%y %H%M"
set bmargin 3
set tmargin 5
set terminal png small color
set key outside bottom
set output "/tmp/ccc28974-0.png"
plot "-" using 1:3 t "    %usr" with lines lw 10
