Re: [Gnuplot-info] How to set xtics for own labels

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

plot twice (1st plot to construct the 'set xtics' command):

set macro
set style data histogram
set style histogram cluster gap 1
set style fill solid
set boxwidth 1.0
set xtic rotate by -45
set table
a="set xtics ("
plot "datafile" using ( \
   int($0)%100==0&&int($0)>0?a=a.",":0 , \
   int($0)%100==0?a=a."\"".stringcolumn(1)."\" ".stringcolumn(0):0 , \
   $2 \
)
a=a.")"
print a
@a
unset table
plot "datafile" using 2 title "test"

Re: [Gnuplot-info] How to set xtics for own labels

[Ates80 <bar...@un...>]

Hi Thomas,

thank u for your answer. With this script gnuplot is 'only' writing the
first xtic label. And i also didn't understand what u have done, can u
explain your script a bit please.
One more question is: Is there also a possibility that gnuplot will display
all others when i zoom in like it is in default done by gnuplot when it sets
the xtics self?

Thanks
