[Gnuplot-info] Using plot in a user defined function

[Armin A. <aar...@nd...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to define a 'function' that essentially is a plot command with
the filename as parameter. Please see the example at the end. I want to do
this to save myself from repeatedly having to use the same plot command (
I'm using it in a multiplot that plots data from several files into one
plot).
Anyhow, the way I'm trying it doesn't seem to work and I couldn't figure out
how to do it properly.

Thanks for your help.
Armin


Sample code:
scatterplot(f) = plot f using (column(1)-1.5*xsep):2 pt ptype lc clr1 ti '0
min',\
	'' using (column(1)-0.5*xsep):14 pt ptype lc clr2 ti '30 min',\
	'' using (column(1)+0.5*xsep):25 pt ptype  lc clr3 ti '60 min',\
	'' using (column(1)+1.5*xsep):72 pt ptype  lc clr4 ti ' 180 min'

later in the script:
scatterplot('P8-00003.csv')

write your plot command into a file which is then
called which the csv-filename as argument.
