[Gnuplot-info] Increasing boxwidth in version 4.1 histogram leads to box overlap

[Shehjar T. <she...@cs...>]

Hi

I am trying to increase the boxwidth of a plot. The first one is here:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~shehjart/temp/temp.png

Now I tried to increase the boxwidth(set boxwidth 3) of the bars but on inreasing that,
the boxes overlap like this:

What commands should I use to remove the overlap here?


TIA
Shehjar

Of course they do.  If you make the boxes wider than the distance of 
your data points, they'll overlap.  I wonder how that could be surprising.

Its not surprising but just that, i was looking for a way to make the
bars display without the overlaps. Is there a way to do that?

Change the x positions of your data.  It's your data, so I have no way 
of telling if, and by how much, such a movement may be allowable.  The 
fact that you omitted all x axis ticking and labeling seems to suggest 
you couldn't care less.  But nobody except you can decide that.
