[Gnuplot-bugs] timefmt

[Elie A. <ea...@sd...>]

Hello,

 

I'm not sure what the problem is here but I'm trying to plot a date on
the x-axis.  Everything was working fine until December.

I'm trying to plot data formatted like this:

.

.

.

04NOV29 16

04NOV30 20

04DEC01  14

 

I do this:

set timefmt "%y%b%d"   and I get:

 

 warning: Bad abbreviated month name

         illegal day of month

 

It doesn't seem to recognize the abbreviation DEC for December.

 

Thanks for your help.

I think your main problem is that there's nothing between the '04' and=20
the 'DEC', combined with using an out-of-date version of gnuplot.  I=20
tried your example on version 4.0.0 on Windows, and it worked.  This is=20
an old, known bug, and has been fixed a long time ago.
