[Gnuplot-info] Create non-bar chart with categories on x-axis

[canavanin <can...@ya...>]

Hi everyone

I need to create a graph showing pairs of value. One item from each pair is
a single value, the other one is supposed to show a range of values (my idea
was to plot the mean value with error bars to indicate the range's max and
min, but I'm open to better ideas). The x-axis has no purpose other than
giving the names of the various categories (just like in a histogram) - all
that matters are the y-values.

I am pretty sure I could create something like this (value pairs and
x-categories) using histograms, but boxes just strike me as wrong in this
case. 

Is there a way to create such a graph? If so, could you please point me in
the right direction? 

Thanks a lot for your time!


PS: I have already asked this question on stackoverflow, but I guess it's
not really the right forum for gnuplot questions. There, however, I have
also included a rough sketch of my desired graph, and some further details.
