Date/Time (xrange) wont work

[Nibbler <rea...@ho...>]

Hi.

I would like to set date/time in the x-range.
My date/time is like this: 2006-10-05 10:30:05.
How I should set timefmt so the gnuplot would understand the the time
format? 

I have tried to do like this, 
set timefmt "%Y/%m/%d\t%H:%M:%S"
but when I run gnuplot the x-axel shows only the date. Not the time.

Thanks.

Such that it matches your actual data, of course!

This rather obviously doesn't.  What made you put / in your format, 
whereas your data clearly has '-'?

Think in terms of the C scanf() function, I guess.  Maybe try:

set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

where the dash and white space match exactly what you have in the file.

Thank you Dan.
Now the values of x-range work perfectly.
