[Gnuplot-bugs] Documentation

[Scott B. <neu...@ho...>]

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to send comments on the 
documentation, please let me know if it's not.

From the perspective of someone new to gnuplot, I found the following 
example from the 'Time/Date data' section slightly more confusing than 
necessary:

           set xdata time
           set timefmt "%m/%d/%y"
           set xrange ["03/21/95":"03/22/95"]
           set format x "%m/%d"
           set timefmt "%m/%d/%y %H:%M"
           plot "data" using 1:3


Since the first 'set timefmt' command is negated by the second, wouldn't it 
make sense not to include the first one in the example?  Or is it there for 
a reason that I'm not seeing?  It took me a minute to try and figure out why 
the program would need both statements, and then a quick test to make sure 
it doesn't.  This change might save time for others.

Thanks.
