[Gnuplot-info] Steps on X axis

[Ilya E. <ily...@gm...>]

    Hi, folks!
There is gnuplot 4.0 patchlevel 0 under FreeBSD 5.5, installed from ports
with default options.
Data file contains records like following:
09 13.62
10 27.55
..where first column is a hour.
Total count of records is more than 24 (data for many days).

How to display data without summarizing records with the same hour value?
Currently, "plot 'datafile' using 1:2" displays 24 steps only,
each summarizes Y-values from records for Nth hour.

More widely, how to use non-numeric values for X axis (or implicitly
interpret them as non-numeric)
and display Y values with fixed step?
For example,
WakeUp 1.234   # display at X=1
GotoHome 5.678 # display at X=2
...

WBR, Ilya
