Re: [Gnuplot-info] command line arguments to gnuplot scripts

[Ismail A. <ism...@go...>]

Hello

The best way to do is to use environment variables in shell and access them
in Gnuplot script

Example:
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the shell:
export name=plot_data_file
-------------------------------------------------------------
In Gnuplot script:

#! /usr/bin/gnuplot
name=system("echo $plot_data_file")
set title name
plot name.".data" using ($16 * 8):20 with linespoints notitle
pause -1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Best regards,
Ismail Amin
