[Gnuplot-info] Basic question: how to plot the data on a bar chart?

[<rhu...@ih...>]

I just want to plot the underlying data for each bar on the bar itself.
Can someone show me how to do so using this page?

http://www.bmsc.washington.edu/people/merritt/gnuplot/

go down to:  Histogramming Tabular Data

On that histogram I would like to plot the y-values on the bars.


I am using:

gnuplot> show version long

 Version 4.4 patchlevel 1
<-snip-snip>
Compile options:
+READLINE  -LIBREADLINE  +HISTORY  
-BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY  +BINARY_DATA  
+GD_PNG  +GD_JPEG  +GD_TTF  +GD_GIF  +ANIMATION  
-NOCWDRC  +X11  +X11_POLYGON  +MULTIBYTE  +X11_EXTERNAL +USE_MOUSE  +HIDDEN3D_QUADTREE  
+DATASTRINGS  +HISTOGRAMS  +OBJECTS  +STRINGVARS  +MACROS  +IMAGE

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

extend the plot command a little bit:

plot 'immigration.dat' using 6:xtic(1) title col, \
   '' u 12 ti col, '' u 13 ti col, '' u 14 ti col, \
   '' using (($0-1)-0.3):6:6 with labels left rotate by 90 offset graph
0,0.02 notitle, \
   '' u (($0-1)-0.1):12:12 w labels left rot by 90 off gr 0,0.02 not, \
   '' u (($0-1)+0.1):13:13 w labels left rot by 90 off gr 0,0.02 not, \
   '' u (($0-1)+0.3):14:14 w labels left rot by 90 off gr 0,0.02 not

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Basic question: how to plot the data on a bar chart?

[<rhu...@ih...>]

Thanks this gets me much closer. 
I don't feel so bad now. That isn't as simple as I had expected.

Now I need to figure out how to add some additional logic to position the label
for those bars that are shorter than the number of chars in the label. I think I
can use a -/+ offset based on the bar size.
 
I tried

gnuplot> help $0

But didn't turn up anything and the mention of $0 in the doc
wasn't enough. Is the $0 in this case relative? 
i.e. is it the position on the x-axis of the x-value from "using"? 

I thought $1 was the first column of the data file so $0 is still unclear to
me.

One thing I found was that the Index in the 4.4 gnuplot.pdf is empty/blank.
Intentional? Or a bug?

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Basic question: how to plot the data on a bar chart?

[<rhu...@ih...>]

This may help someone else....

$0 = column(0)

is a pseudocolumn

The sequential order of each point within a data set.
The counter starts at 0 and is reset by two sequential blank records.
The shorthand form $0 is available.

Other pseudocolumns are column(-1) and column(-2)

gnuplot> help pseudo
