Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] Problem working with xtics

[<e....@nk...>]

As far as I can tell, this line is wrong

g.plot(data using 2:xtic(1) title "Oct-09 data growth(gb)", ''
using 3 title "Nov-09 data growth(gb)", '' using 4 title "Dec-09 data
growth(gb)")

you must create the data like this

data = [ Gnuplot.Data(x0 , y0 , title="Nov-09 etc") ,
         Gnuplot.Data(x1 , y1 , title="Dec-09 etc") ,
       ]

where x0,y0 (etc) are the data arrays, then plot it with

g.plot(*data)
