[Gnuplot-info] Can't get labeling via xtics to work

[Bill T. <bt...@cs...>]

I have this limited data set with the last 2 sets of numbers a don't 
care anymore.

April 7 2008, 15, 61, -24, 0, 0, 0, 0
April 14 2008, 12, 59, -10, 0, 0, 0, 0
April 21 2008, 17, 75, -8, 0, 0, 0, 0
April 28 2008, 21, 89, -6, 0, 0, 0, 0
May 5 2008, 14, 81, -0, 0, 0, 0, 0
May 13 2008, 17, 119, -0, 0, 0, 0, 0
May 20 2008, 17, 115, -0, 0, 0, 0, 0
May 27 2008, 7, 85, -0, 0, 0, 0, 0
June 3 2008, 11, 88, -0, 0, 0, 0, 0

This is the plot setup which no longer has any a-axis labels
and it is probably something simple.

Re: [Gnuplot-info] Can't get labeling via xtics to work

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

some remarks:

there's no need to specify xrange in seconds,
use the time format of the data instead:

#set timefmt "%s"
#set xrange ["1206853200":]
set timefmt "%B %d %Y"
set xrange ["April 1 2008":*]

your xtics are far off the axis range - all at the position of "January 01
2000"
(insert a 'show xrange' line into your current script file and you will see
it).
this works:

set xtics ( "7.1.0 Release" "April 7 2008" ,"April 14 2008","April 21
2008","April 28 2008","May 5 2008","May 13 2008","May 20 2008","May 27
2008","June 3 2008")

even when plotting time data each string separated by space, tab, ...
counts,
that means that for a data file like this
April 7 2008, 15, 61, -24, 0, 0, 0, 0
plotting the 2nd value (here: '15') vs. time needs a command
like this: plot .... us 1:4
and not 'us 1:2'

with the above changes i got a nice plot using the following command:
plot "/tmp/condor-nmiplots-cYynkG.data" using 1:5 with boxes ls 5 title
"Good Downloads", "" using 1:4 with boxes ls 9 title "Good Source
Downloads", "" using 1:6 with boxes ls 7 title "Bad Downloads", "" using 1:7
with boxes ls 3 title "Good Downloads/20", "" using 1:8 with boxes ls 8
title "Bad Downloads/20", "" using 1:9 with boxes ls 1 title "Good
Downloads/200", "" using 1:10 with boxes ls 2 title "Bad Downloads/200"

more information you will get when reading the manual or the
output of the commands:
help timefmt
help time/date
help xtics
help datafile
