Re: [Gnuplot-info] Having dual Celsius and Fahrenheit scales automatically?

[Ethan M. <eam...@gm...>]

Use the "set link" command (version 5 only)

gnuplot> set link y2 via (y-32)*5./9. inv (y*9./5.)+32
gnuplot> set ytics format "%.0f °F"
gnuplot> set y2tics format "%.0f °C"
gnuplot> set xrange [0:150]
gnuplot> plot x

Imperfect ascii plot using "set term dumb":
