[Gnuplot-info] lines and points from discrete data

[Paulo J. M. <poc...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have the following:
data.dat
1000 5
1500 4
1750 9

data1.dat
1200 2
1550 8
1600 6

I want to plot data.dat as a line and data1 as points.
However, I want the xtics to be equally spaced. So, 1000 should be 
further from 1200 than 1500 from 1550.

I have tried:
set xtics (1000 1, 1200 2, 1500 3, 1550 4, 1600 5, 1750 6)
plot 'data.dat' using 2:xtic(1) with linespoints, 'data1.dat' using 
2:xtic(1) with points

but to no avail.

Any tips on how to get this done?

Cheers,
