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

[D K <can...@ya...>]

Dear Walter

Thank you very much for your quick reply. The trouble is that I would 
prefer not to use boxes at all, certainly not for the single values I 
have to plot. I think the plot would be much clearer if I used points 
(and maybe error bars or lines) only.

Thanks again!
