GNU Info (gnuplot.info)xdataThis command sets the datatype on the x axis to time/date. A similar command does the same thing for each of the other axes. Syntax: set xdata {time} show xdata The same syntax applies to `ydata` (Note: ydata ), `zdata` (Note: zdata ), `x2data` (Note: x2data ) and `y2data` (Note: y2data ). The `time` option signals that the datatype is indeed time/date. If the option is not specified, the datatype reverts to normal. See `set timefmt` (Note: timefmt ) to tell `gnuplot` (Note: gnuplot ) how to read date or time data. The time/date is converted to seconds from start of the century. There is currently only one timefmt, which implies that all the time/date columns must confirm to this format. Specification of ranges should be supplied as quoted strings according to this format to avoid interpretation of the time/date as an expression. The function 'strftime' (type "man strftime" on unix to look it up) is used to print tic-mark labels. `gnuplot` tries to figure out a reasonable format for this unless the `set format x "string"` has supplied something that does not look like a decimal format (more than one '%' or neither %f nor %g). See also `Time/date` for more information. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
