loops - How to plot several datafiles in consecutive graphs using gnuplot -
i have large number of ascii files named in order of form data.xxxx.tab, "xxxx" number between 0000 , 9999. each file contains 5 columns, first x-coordinate, second y-coordinate , remaining 3 variables wish plot against x-coordinate. need know how write loop in gnuplot 4.6, plot consecutive graphs of 1 of variables against x-coordinate. i tried instructions given in following posts: plotting gnuplot several files and gnuplot : plotting data multiple input files in single graph but these created single graph containing curves data files together, whereas need consecutive graphs plotted 1 after another, showing evolution in time of variable graph. the following should work: # fix axes proper comparison between graphs set xrange [0:10] set yrange [0:10] # if want animated gif set term gif animate set output 'output.gif' # plot data [n=0:9999]{ plot sprintf("data.%04d.tab", n) using 1:2 title 'case '.n } the %04d string...
