[Gnuplot-info] Creating multiple plots

[wayne0308 <wok...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I was hoping someone can help me with this. I'll tell you a little about
what I'm doing and then what I'm trying to do.

I've programmed a numerical simulation in C, which outputs a data file on
each iteration (time step). On average I could end up with 10's of .dat
files, I've used a simple naming convention "data000.dat, data001.dat and so
on.

What I'm trying to do is to get GNUPLOT to create a plot of each of these
.dat files . So lets say I have 200 data file, then I want to plot 200
graphs, one for each. The only thing that will change from graph to graph is
the data plotted within.

Do I need to write a script to do this?

If so, does anyone know of tutorials I can use, or if anyone has any
examples of how I can implement this.

I know what I'm trying to do but I'm afraid I haven't a clue how to do it
:-)

Any help you can give will be much appreciated,

Wayne.

Hi Wayne. I'm working with gnuplot 4.3. I'm not sure if it works with
a previous version of gnuplot, but you can check that. Here is the
script:


file(n) =3D sprintf("yourdirectory/data%03.dat",n)
plot for [i=3D0:199] file(i) u 1:2 (or whatever!)

I hope it helps. Cheers,

Is the for loop documented somewhere? I couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Micha

Hi Micha, sorry for the lag. See:

gnuplot> help iteration

Or take a look to gnuplot documentation under iteration (page 78)
Cheers,

Hernan
