[Gnuplot-info] polar plot

[Oberwittler, D. <d.o...@mp...>]

Hi,

I didn't succeed to produce a polar plot which should ideally look like 
these (Python): http://scienceoss.com/categories/python/matplotlib/ . 
Basically, it is a bar chart  turned into a circular polar plot.

A basic example for the histogram would be:

*********************************
reset
set xlabel "category"
set ylabel "value"
set grid
set xrange [0:7]
set yrange [0:10]
set style data boxes
set style fill solid 1.0
set boxwidth 0.95 relative
plot "temp1.dat" u 1:2 w boxes
**********************************

where the data temp1.dat is:
==================================
1 7.5
2 5.8
3 7.9
4 4.2
5 5.0
6 7.7
=================================

I asked this question before but didn't get an answer. I would be very 
happy about any hints!

Dietrich
