I have a text file as follows:
ls 10
cd 5
cut 12
awk 7
...
I would like to plot it using gnuplot with the text column as the X axis:
plot 'data.txt' u 1:2
But I get this error:
warning: Skipping data file with no valid points
^
x range is invalid
$data << EOD
ls 10
cd 5
cut 12
awk 7
EOD
# this is all just plot layout stuff; customize to taste
unset border
set tics scale 0
set xzeroaxis
set title "x coord = line number"
# use line number for x coordinate, column 1 for tic label
plot $data using 0:2:xticlabel(1) with impulse
Check help xticlabels.
And try this:
reset session
$Data <<EOD
ls 10
cd 5
cut 12
awk 7
... 9
EOD
set boxwidth 0.7
set style fill solid 1.0
set yrange[0:]
plot $Data u 2:xtic(1) w boxes
