Re: [Gnuplot-info] labelling dates on x and corresponding numbers on x2 axis

[lambert <van...@il...>]

Answering my own question (see below): 

You can bind a key that will align the x2range to the xrange simply by
typing this (or putting it in your .gnuplotrc):

bind "=" "set x2range [GPVAL_X_MIN:GPVAL_X_MAX] ; replot"

Now, each time you hit the "=" key the x2range is adapted to the xrange (you
need to redo this after each zoom).

The zoom facility of the x11 window acts on the xrange and yrange
coordinates and the x2range and y2range coordinates 'follow', but not
necessarily one-to-one. Like this the "=" key will force the one-to-one
correspondance.
