Re: [Gnuplot-info] fence plotting in gnuplot

The set style fill syntax you have ought to work. It did for me. Perhaps
the particular flavor of JPG terminal that you're using doesn't support
it? (That seems unlikely, as I think both libgd and Cairo support
transparency.) Transparency support wasn't present pre-4.4, but then you
should have gotten an error on the set command.

The files for all the demos are in the demo directory of your gnuplot
installation. Normally they'd also be available to in the SourceForge
CVS file browser, but that is down now because of the attacks.

Histograms are a 1-D plot type, so I'm not sure how/if it will work with
smoothing. You might have to do the frequency smoothing in one pass to
generate a data table (help table), and then plot the frequency-smoothed
data file as a histogram using 2:xticlabels(1) or something similar.

In case you can't find it, here is the first few columns of
immigration.dat:
	# IMMIGRATION BY REGION AND SELECTED COUNTRY OF LAST RESIDENCE
	#
	Region	Austria	Hungary	Belgium	Czechoslovakia	...etc
	1891-1900	234081	181288	18167	-
