[Gnuplot-info] question on creating histogram

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

Hi
There are several examples on "how to plot histogram" using box and xticle. However I can not find information on how to plot a simple histogram from a file:


10
20
10
20
30

I want to see a plot like this (rotate it 90 deg counter clockwise).

0
10 * * * 

20 *
30 *
40
50

 
The commands
   plot "f:\his.txt" u 1:xtic(1)
or
   plot "f:\his.txt" u 1:with boxes
doesn't work for me.

I will be very thankful if you point the right keyword on how to plot such thing.



Regards,
Mahmood
