[Gnuplot-info] Accessing first column, first row

[Markus E. <ei...@in...>]

Hi,

for a plot I have in a datafile the time in ms stored in the first 
column. The time does not start from 0, but something like 1191342868.608249
For the plot I just want to plot the relative elapsed time. What I want 
to do is to store the starting time in a variable STARTING_TIME and plot 
the date with a call like

plot filename using ($1-STARTING_TIME):10 title "MOTCUR_M1" with lines

How can I access this data field?

Best,

/Markus
