Re: [Gnuplot-info] How to set xtics for own labels

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

plot twice (1st plot to construct the 'set xtics' command):

set macro
set style data histogram
set style histogram cluster gap 1
set style fill solid
set boxwidth 1.0
set xtic rotate by -45
set table
a="set xtics ("
plot "datafile" using ( \
   int($0)%100==0&&int($0)>0?a=a.",":0 , \
   int($0)%100==0?a=a."\"".stringcolumn(1)."\" ".stringcolumn(0):0 , \
   $2 \
)
a=a.")"
print a
@a
unset table
plot "datafile" using 2 title "test"
