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

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

The data files look like

$ cat data.txt 
0
10
20
30
40
50

$ cat data2.txt 
100
80
60
40

Now, when I run 

plot "data.txt" using 1, "data2.txt" u 2




The points for data2.txt are not shown correctly.Please see the attachment.
 
Regards,
Mahmood

Is the command like:

gnuplot> plot "data1.txt" using 1, "data2.txt" u 2

what you need?  It plots two data sets in the same window.

Cheers,
Marek
