Re: [Gnuplot-info] Multiple string concatenation after title using column(n) function

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

oh, i forgot the 'index 0' in the dummy plot:

plot "OUT.txt" using \
0:(my_title="m = ".stringcolumn(2)." C = ".stringcolumn(3)." b =
".stringcolumn(4) , 0/0) \
every ::0::0 index 0 notitle, \
"" index 0 using 1:5:7 title my_title with yerrorbars

yes, 'every ::0::0' means the 1st line of a data set.

'0/0' means 'undefined', and undefined points are not plotted.

[Gnuplot-info] limit of parameter number

[Stefan <ste...@ci...>]

Dear Plotters,

Gnuplot returns "function contains too many parameters", if I use a function
with 13 parameters. Using "only" 12 parameters Gnuplot returns no error alert.
is there any limit of parameters, which can be used in one function?

Thanks 

Stefan 

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Multiple string concatenation after title using column(n) function

[AceStrider1 <Ace...@ya...>]

Thomas,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply and suggestion.  Your method seems
to work at concatenating.  It is correctly reading the values from the
columns.  The only strange thing now is that gnuplot in now using the first
line of my last group (index 79) instead of (index 0).

For Instance my datafile out.txt looks like:

#NPARTICLES	m 	C   	b	A       	B       	STDEV_A     
100000     	1 	0.1 	0	0.020280	0.232320	4.457500E-04

10000000   	1 	0.1 	0	0.020800	0.231650	4.512800E-05
100000000  	1 	0.1 	0	0.020740	0.231890	1.425300E-05
                                                        
                                                        
100000     	5 	0.1 	0	0.021760	0.001920	4.613800E-04
1000000    	5 	0.1 	0	0.021780	0.002020	1.459800E-04

100000     	10	0.1 	0	0.021710	0.000020	4.608600E-04
1000000    	10	0.1 	0	0.021570	0.000010	1.452900E-04
10000000   	10	0.1 	0	0.021710	0.000010	4.608800E-05
100000000  10	0.1 	0	0.021680	0.000010	1.456300E-05


100000     	20	0.99	4	0.767610	0.013350	1.335600E-03
1000000    	20	0.99	4	0.770680	0.013310	4.204000E-04
10000000   	20	0.99	4	0.769150	0.013460	1.332500E-04
100000000  20	0.99	4	0.769360	0.013440	4.212400E-05

So I am plotting the correct data, except the labels are off.  I confirmed
it was the first line of my
last index group by changing 0.99 to 0.79 and plotting.

This is what my gnuplot file looks like now:

reset

set terminal svg
set output "CASE0.svg"
set xlabel 'Particles'
set ylabel 'Fraction'
set grid
set log x
set xrange [ 10000 : 1000000000]
set title "Albedo"

plot "OUT.txt" using 0:(my_title="Analog m = ".stringcolumn(2)." C =
".stringcolumn(3)." b = ".stringcolumn(4) , 0/0) \
every ::0::0 notitle, "" index 0 using 1:5:7 title my_title with yerrorbars
3

set terminal wxt
replot



I believe every ::0::0     means to use the first line only.
I am not so sure about 0/0 <-- it did not seem to make a difference if I had
it in there or not.

Thanks Again,

Adan

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Multiple string concatenation after title using column(n) function

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

your plot command doesn't really work because you loose the first line,
due to the columnheader(2) option which interprets the first line as
a text line, not as a data line.

a 'plot nothing' to set a variable containing the values you want to have
in the key should do the job:

plot "OUT.txt" using \
0:(my_title="m = ".stringcolumn(2)." C = ".stringcolumn(3)." b =
".stringcolumn(4) , 0/0) \
every ::0::0 notitle, \
"" index 0 using 1:5:7 title my_title with yerrorbars

[Gnuplot-info] Multiple string concatenation after title using column(n) function

[AceStrider1 <Ace...@ya...>]

Hi All,

I am trying to set a title on the legend based on data from multiple
columns.

for instance the file name is out.txt:

#N	        m 	C   	b	A       	B       	STDEV_A     	STDEV_B     
100000     	1 	0.1 	0	0.020280	0.232320	4.457500E-04	1.335500E-03
1000000    	1 	0.1 	0	0.020740	0.232260	1.425000E-04	4.222800E-04
10000000   	1 	0.1 	0	0.020800	0.231650	4.512800E-05	1.334100E-04
100000000  1 	0.1 	0	0.020740	0.231890	1.425300E-05	4.220400E-05

I am plotting using the following:

set log x
set xrange [ 10000 : 1000000000]
set title "Albedo"
plot "OUT.txt" index 0 using 1:5:7  title  column(2) with yerrorbars 3



This works, but I am having a difficult time combining say column 2, 3, and
4 as in
"m = ".column(2)." C = ".column(3)." b = ".column(4)

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank,
Adan

Just add this two lines after the "label_number = label_number+1;\"
line in the label_loop.gnu file:

cmd = sprintf("echo \"set label '$0' at %.2f,%.2f textcolor 1\" >>
outfile.txt",MOUSE_X,MOUSE_Y);\
system(cmd);\

Now your final chosen position is appended to the file "outfile.txt"
with the whole line necessary to create this label.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] locate accurate position in a graph

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

Thanks, this is pretty nice! I don't know that gnuplot can do such
complicated things.

BTW, is it possible to modify the script to output the selected points into
an output file given a specific format?

Jon

To find the right label position can be indeed very time-consuming if
you have a lot of labels to put in a graph. I have solved the problem
for my purposes by using an interactive way to get the right positions.
Have a look at http://www.gnuplotting.org/interactive-label-placing/ for
the basic functionality.
But I'm not sure if this is the right thing for you, because the
position is not given in screen coordinates.

Though I have been actively plumbing the depths of gnuplot and its

Re: [Gnuplot-info] font and font size does not seem to work for xlabel

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

could it be a terminal choice problem? the enhanced type would not display
under x11 terminal, you can output the graph into postscript terminal to see
whether it displays correctly in the generated file.

What exactly did you download: the win32 binary package, or the source

That may be because, roughly spoken, you've already completed the 
installation.  There's nothing else you absolutely have to do.  Just run 
the program.

Of the READMEs, only README.Windows is of direct importance for you 
right now.

[Gnuplot-info] Help installing gnuplot 4.4.2 on Windows 7

[Natalie N. <ntl...@gm...>]

Hi, there.  I apologize in advance!  I'm very new to this program and am
quite a beginner, but the TA for my lab course requires us to graph our data
in gnuplot so I must figure out how to install it on my laptop.

I am currently using Windows 7 64-bit and I downloaded the latest version of
gnuplot (4.4.2) and unzipped the file.  I've been reading the various README
and INSTALL files through notepad, but can't make heads or tails of what to
do from here in terms of installing gnuplot.  Can someone please offer me
any help on how to correctly install it?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Jon,
I answered those details via PM to you as I guess this is not the appropriate

And, all listmembers, sorry for the noise I created when thinking to answer to

Take care

Thanks, Dieter, your gnuplotps2pdf works like magic!! I wonder whether I can

BTW, is it possible to outline the idea contained how to get the right

Several ways possible.  You could combine all functions into one using 
the ? operator:

	f(x) = (x < t21) ? f1(x) : (x < t31) ? f2(x) : f3(x)

Or you can plot each function individually, like you appear to be doing now.

> I've tried defining as many functions as intervals and making the

Using multiplot for that is wrong.  Just

	plot f1(x), f2(x), f3(x)

> but it doesn't work when the intervals
> are small.

So up the 'set samples'.

Better yet, switch to parametric mode, map a common t interval [0:1] to 
your individual t ranges, and then:

	x1(t) = t11+t*(t12-t11)
	...

	plot x1(t), f1(x1(t)), x2(t), f2(x2(t)), ...

Re: [Gnuplot-info] bounding box cut half when eps file with multiplot is transformed into pdf file

Hi Jon,
this is another example assuming that you readily installed gnuplotps2pdf; 
just make it executable and start it, you'll get a picture of a parabola with 
optimized geometry for inclusion into pdflatex.

\includegraphics[scale=0.6]{parabel.pdf}

Hope this helps and clarifies some of the concepts I tried to tell you about - 
just look into the file, I hope this is self explanatory.

[Gnuplot-info] How to plot a discontinous function

[Federico B. <fed...@gm...>]

Hi I'm trying to plot a discontinuous function like this

f(x) = a1*x**2+b1*x+c1  for x in [t11,t12]
f(x) = a2*x**2+b2*x+c2  for x in [t21,t22]
f(x) = a3*x**2+b3*x+c3  for x in [t31,t32]
....
....
...
where t11<=t12<=t21<=t22, etc

and I don't know how to do it.
I've tried defining as many functions as intervals and making the
function undefined (1/0) outside its interval and plotting each
function (with persistent plot) but it doesn't work when the intervals
are small.
Thanks
Federico
