[Gnuplot-info] command line arguments to gnuplot scripts

[Philipp F. <phi...@hh...>]

Hello

Is it possible to pass arguments to a Gnuplot script (in Linux on the
command line), e.g. a file name for a data file. I would like to do the
following kind of script:

#! /usr/bin/gnuplot
set title ARGV[1]
plot ARGV[1].data using ($16 * 8):20 with linespoints notitle
pause -1

This script should generate a plot with the title given as first command
line argument, an with the graph constructed from the first command line
argument added with the suffix .data.

Best regards
Philipp
