... and you did it entirely in gnuplot.  The way it turned out suggests 
rather heavily that that was a bad idea.  gnuplot learned a good deal of 
new tricks on this front in recent times, but it's still not a data 
processing engine per se.

This would have been a whole lot simpler in awk, perl or any numerical 
programming language of your choice.
