[Gnuplot-info] xy line plot with one x axis vector in one file and several y vectors where each y vector is in its own file

[Graham, J. <Jef...@br...>]

Hello,

I have not yet figured out how to create a single line plot where the x
axis values are in one file but each of the Y vectors are in their own
separate file.

Can anyone help?
Thanks,
JG

That's because there is not really all that much to figure out --- 
gnuplot won't do that.  You'll have to merge each y file with the x 
file, at least on-the-fly, to make it usable for gnuplot.  Unix-style 
text utilities can make that very easy.  See 'help data special' to 
understand what this does:

	plot '< paste file1 file2'
