Re: [Gnuplot-info] special plot need -- splot matrix from not-that-regularly organized data file

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

if you would do a normal 'splot', selection of data section using 'every'
would work, but with 'matrix' gnuplot tries to figure out what the
dimensions
of the matrix are, and there it fails due to those non-data lines (e.g. 'k =
1').
