[Gnuplot-info] Reading formula constants from datafile

[Smyth, S. <Ste...@nr...>]

Is it possible to read in formula constants form a datafile.  I have numerous functions that I would like to plot on the same figure.  All of the functions have the same form, but slightly different constants.  For simplicity, say the function is f(x)=a*x.  Can "a" be read in from a datafile and then f(x) plotted?

 

Any guidance would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
