Re: [Gnuplot-info] Help - Peak of a graph

[<as...@ca...>]

Hi,

I don't know if it can be done in gnuplot. You could try by using
sort: suppose your file has 2 columns separated by spaces:

x-value y-value

 In that case,

$ sort -t' ' -k2,2n yourfile.dat | head -1

this would give you the line corresponding to your peak.
Take a look at 'man sort' for further information.
