Hi,

it would seem that there is a need to differenciate input data and plotted  
axes.

since the variable xdata in essence applies to the data , ie what is read  
in, it would seem best to provide a new variable (perhaps called xaxis)  
that can be different from xdata. If xaxis is not set then gnuplot would  
fall through to the old behaviour of xdata=xaxis and thus backwards compat  
is assured.

regards, Peter.
