Скачать или смотреть gnuplot Tutorial 8: Colorful datapoints + labelling tics from datafile

Palette Tutorial:    • gnuplot Tutorial 6: Palette  


In this part of the gnuplot tutorial I show you how a neat trick how to get the labels for your tics directly from the datafile. Then we are going to color in some datapoints. I prepared a dataset corresponding to the monthly average temperature in some city over the course of a year. First I color the datapoints according to the temperature, but that is boring and redundant. We can also include information from a different column of the data file and encode it in color. This allows you to pack more information into a plot without making it appear cluttered.


The font used in the thumbnail is called Inconsolata by Raph Levien. It's a beautiful monospaced font and if you do any programming at all and are looking for a different font style for your editor you might want to check out his website: https://levien.com/type/myfonts/incon...
