[Gnuplot-info] simple heatmap plot

[Peter C. <pe...@ho...>]

I am attempting to plot a simple heatmap on a png.  The data will 
consist of:
      lat,lon,value - where value is a measurement taken at a particular 
lat/lon
      lat,lon,0 - where lat,lon represent the boundary of the area, and 
0 is a hard coded value to print a specific color

I have tried
plot 'boundary.csv' with lines
plot 'boundary.csv' using 1:2 with lines
plot 'boundary.csv' matrix using 1:2:3 with points
splot 'boundary.csv' matrix with image

I can seem to draw a simple geographic boundary :(

Here is the boundary dataset:
-118.4416963421,34.2684862765,-80
-118.5296361373,34.0505446952,-80
-118.3178973599,33.966252909,-80
-118.1589688575,34.1702770376,-80

   You can find gnuplot by find command

   (For the search from root (/), sudo is required for Ubuntu )

No, you should not need to use `sudo find'.

Sorry I have misled.

You can find gnuplot by find command

$ sudo find / -name "gnuplot"

(For the search from root (/), sudo is required for Ubuntu )

The issue whether a windows application can connect to a linux application
or not is a problem of the wine.  The topic is not the scope on the gnuplot
list but that for the wine, I think.

However, if you will need to use gnuplot.exe for windows, the below will be
helpful.

If windows version of gnuplot is installed by installer, this is the general
question to the wine where the executable is installed by installer working
on windows.
Therefore you should ask this issue at the wine forum but not here.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] minor ticks on logaritmic axis

[Bo J. <li...@f7...>]

Thanks for the input.

I guess no optimal solution exists, it is hard to ensure the "reader" of 
the
graph knows what the minor ticks means unless the "normal"  8 minor 
ticks is used.

I will try to figure out if any convention exists in the mathematical 
literature, and
return if I find any.

In coding our own stock-market analysis graphics program we stumbled
across this mine field. We chose to give the user three options: log
tics, linear tics and decades. 'Log tics' produces equidistnat tics on
the chosen axis, 'linear grid' produces tics every n points apart and
'decades' is the gnuplot and perhaps conventional default. Explaining
this to users is hell. We just say, "Try all three and use the one you

Re: [Gnuplot-info] minor ticks on logaritmic axis

[Ethan M. <eam...@gm...>]

The issue of minor tics on a log scale axis has been problematic since the
origin of gnuplot, lost in the dim mists of time.  The oldest bug in the
tracker complains about this.  But over the last 10 years I have never seen
a coherent proposal about how the program could better handle a "set
mxtics" command in log-scale mode, let alone a patch that would implement
it.

IMHO the best thing is to treat "set/unset mxtics" in log scale mode as an
on/off operation only.  "on" means you get autogenerated minor tics, "off"
means you don't get any.

As John points out, you can generally set mxtics to 10.  That fixes some
odd corner cases when the total range on x is less than one decade, but can
introduce strangeness in other corner cases.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] minor ticks on logaritmic axis

[BBands <bb...@gm...>]

This seems correct to me.

set logscale x
set logscale y
set xrang [1:100]
set yrang [1:100]
set mxtics 10
set mytics 10
set grid mxtics mytics
plot "<echo '50 50'"

Does 'set mxtics 10' seem correct to you?

[Gnuplot-info] minor ticks on logaritmic axis

[Bo J. <li...@f7...>]

Dear all

I am trying to understand how gnuplot sets minor tics on a logaritmic 
scale and if that is "correct"

running the following minimal example:

set logscale x
set xrang [10:100]
set yrang [1:10]
set mxtics 4
plot "<echo '50 1'"

shows that minor tics are sat at  25,50, and 75

The first interval represents a smaller linear range (10-25) whereas the 
later 3 represents a range of 25.
It that what is expected for minor tics on a log scale.

setting mxtics to 8 is even worse I now gets minor tics at: 12.5, 50, 
37.5 ...
in which the first interval only represents 2.5 on a linear scale, and 
the minor tics seems totally out of place

Does any one here know what is the correct way to put minor tics?

[Gnuplot-info] Dynamic PNG Size

[Peter C. <pe...@ho...>]

I am using the following snippit to plot a png file that is dynamically 
sized:

However how can I add into the width the anticipated left / right 
margins, the labels and the legend?  I need the actual plot part to be 
pixel perfect, otherwise some of our vertical line markers which are a 
single point wide are lost during interpolation.

[Gnuplot-info] cairolatex with both eps and pdf output

[Bo J. <li...@f7...>]

Dear all

I am using the cairolatex to produce figure for inclusion in latex.
However, I would very much like to have both an eps and an pdf file 
generated from gnuplot
(like what is possible in xfig) for use with both latex and pdflatex.

The concrete problem is that I have figures with transparency, and if I 
convert the final pdf file (after pdflatex processing) to an eps file 
using pdftops
the fonts are ruined (this only happens for figures with transparency). 
I need both the pdf and eps version so that is ignoring.

Having gnuplot making both file format would provide the needed 
flexibility.

Break it down into steps:

awkcommand = "awk '/Total/ {print $4}' ".file
system( "echo $(" . awkcommand . ")" )

or something like that.

It seems you misunderstand what a macro is in gnuplot.
It is not some kind of function that is executed in-line.
Gnuplot macros do not take parameters.
They are basically a text-substitution mechanism that operates
before the command is executed.  Think of it as running a 
search-and-replace operation in a text editor before 
feeding the result to gnuplot.  The editor has no idea about
gnuplot syntax like do loops or if statements - it applies
the search-and-replace everywhere.

Sorry, gnuplot doesn't have arrays.
But it does have functions, so if your total() function can be 
evaluated at the time it is used then your command above might
be close to working.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] string variables and iteration

[atoms.h <tho...@gm...>]

Thanks Ethan for your quick reply!

One problem is that I have to use the macro for
$ `echo $(awk '/Total/ {print $4}' @file)`
otherwise i cannot pass the variable to bash.
What also doesn't work (and I have no idea as to why that is) is to do
$ `echo $(awk '/Total/ {print $4}' @item(i))`
Then I get error because of the brackets....

Secondly, I realize that this probably wasn't the best example for what I
actually want to do.
Because 'total' gets overwritten for every file. My real goal would be
something like
$ total(i) = sprintf("%d",`echo $(awk '/Total/ {print $4}' @file)`)
So store the values in a fake-array....

Kind regards,
Thomas

You cannot change the definition of a macro inside a do loop.
The macro is expanded before the loop is executed, so the
resulting expansion will be the same every time through the
loop.

But I don't see from the fragment there why you need to use
a macro anyhow.  What is wrong with using item(i) directly?

[Gnuplot-info] string variables and iteration

[atoms.h <tho...@gm...>]

Hi all,

i have a strange problem regarding string variables and iterations. What I'd
like to do is to handle operations for several input files in a loop:

$ list = "file1.dat file2.dat file3.dat ..."
$ item(n) = word(list,n)
$ do for [i = 1 : words(list)]{
$   file = item(i)
$   total = `echo $(awk '/Total/ {print $4}' @file)`
$ }

This always complains that 'file' is not a string (for the awk command).
Outside the loop, however, it works:

$ list = "file1.dat file2.dat file3.dat ..."
$ item(n) = word(list,n)
$ do for [i = 1 : words(list)]{
$   file = item(i)
$ }
$ total = `echo $(awk '/Total/ {print $4}' @file)`

So there seems something strange is happening in the loop which I don't
quite understand. Like if the awk command would be executed first or
something...
If anyone has some inside or better idea I would very much appreciate it!

Kind regards,
Thomas

[Gnuplot-info] Fwd: histograms with categories

[Hajdu T. M. <fa...@si...>]

Hi all,

I have a set of performance data, which look like this:
<timestamp>;<category with a string>;<value>

I would like to have histograms per category. There is no list of
categories available. Is there any way to do this with gnuplot or I have
to use some other tool like awk to filter the data?

Thanks in advance!

I do not know why it behaves like that, but the fix is to request
the line style explicitly in the plot command:

   plot for[i=2:7] "bar.dat" u i:xticlabels(1) ls i-1 title "test"

The colors work fine if I remove the statement "unset key", but the 
moment I add the statement, the colors go back to the default. Does 
anyone know how to fix this? I'm using gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 3.

As stated that is not possible.  Each major tic generates a grid
line whether or not it has a visible label associated with it.

You might be able to construct a command that adds tics only
at the time labels, but then you would have neither grid line
nor tic marks at the other points.

Hmm.  I suppose if the other points are evenly spaced you might
be able to add them back as minor tics using the "set xmtics"
command.

[Gnuplot-info] Grid lines triggered by time-statement

[Til S. <li...@li...>]

Hi,

I have data with some lines containing the time but others don't.
Example:

Index;Time;Value
1;;3
2;11:00;1
3;;2
4;;4
5;11:45;2

How do I plot grid lines only for every x-value containing a
time-statement? The plot should look like this:

4		|		X	|
3	X	|			|
2		|	X		X
1		X			|
---------------------------------------------
	|	|	|	|	|
		11:00			11:45

[Gnuplot-info] evaluate string in 'using' entry

[Andres C. <aci...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a fence plot with several non-normalized data
files. First I need to make them uniform by normalizing to the maximum
value in each dataset, using the stats command.

When plotting I need to call upon the maximum for each dataset to
normalize the column I'm trying to plot, but I just can't figure out
how to do it properly.

The minimal script below fails only in the normalization with:
warning: maxval is not a string variable

files = "file1 file2 file3"

laser_sb = 172.0

col = 3

unset key

set style data impulses

do for [i = 1 : words(files)] {

stats (word(files, i) . '.csv') using col name 'file'.i

}

set macros

maxval(n) = 'file'.n.'_max'

splot for [i = 1 : words(files)] word(files, i).'.csv' \
     using ($1 - laser_sb):(i):(column(col) / (@maxval(i))) w l

Hello

Thanks for your explanation.  I want to resume to distribute Cygwin binary both on 32 and 64bit of CVS. I am not a latex user.  But the current windows binary ships the latex tutorial so that I thought it was better to prepare it to the Cygwin binary.
