Re: Advice on boxes plot and setting xrange with a time axis

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

set timefmt "%m.%Y"
set xrange ["12.1999":"01.2001"]
set timefmt "%m"
plot 'bars.txt' using 1:2 title 'A'

explanation:
you can't set the xrange to 'december one year before' with
timefmt "%m" because there is no way to give the year, and
month numbers <= 0 are not allowed.

note:
gnuplot starts counting time from the 'beginning of epoch',
so if you have only month numbers in your datafile, it automatically
chooses year 2000.
