Hi!
First of all: gnuplot 4 is fantastic!
I'd like to use the "smooth frequency" option to plot histograms and
plot the histogram with boxes (needed because the "with histeps" is no
good when there are bins with no members), something like:
plot 'problemsheet_results.dat' u (5*floor(($1)*0.2)+2.5):(1) s f w
boxes
This unfortunately does not work: when I set the boxwidth the system
reacts in unexpected ways, for example typing:
set boxwidth 4 absolute
I get some correct boxes but most of them are plotted as boxes with
zero widths.
If I produce the frequency data myself the "with boxes" option works
great, as in:
plot 'frequency.dat' w boxes
(I run gnuplot under Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" -- with a successful build
I did myself)
Cheers,
Maarten
