[Gnuplot-info] multiple data files in one instance of gnuplot

[Mahmood N. <nt_...@ya...>]

Hi
I have two *data files* and want to open them with one instance of gnuplot. Both of the files are single columned. If I run this command:

plot "data1.txt" using 1
plot "data2.txt" using 1
 
The result is that the second will replace the first one. The naiive solution is to open another terminal and plot the second one.
What I want is this sequence

plot "data1.txt" using 1
<first chart is opened in a new window and the console returns to gnuplot>
plot "data2.txt" using 1
<second chart is opened in a new window and the console returns to gnuplot>

As a result I have to chart windows in one gnuplot.


Searching the documents and internet, there are examples for a single data file with two columns. So it is easy to open two chart windows in one gnuplot. But that is not my case.

Is there any way to do that?

Mahmood
