trouble making time-based graph with gnuplot
date, format, gnuplot, time
Solution
Just add `using 1:2` to your `plot` line.
Problem
the data file i use looks like this: ``` 2012.07.21 83 2012.07.22 54 2012.07.23 122 2012.07.24 104 2012.07.25 97 2012.07.26 114 2012.07.27 97 2012.07.28 83 2012.07.29 60 2012.07.30 106 2012.07.31 75 ``` this is a short part of it and the file contains other years too. i want a graph that shows the number by dates.(that shows how many results per day) what i have done is : ``` gnuplot> set xdata time gnuplot> set timefmt "%Y.%m.%d" gnuplot> plot "sample.txt" ``` but it says : need full using spec for x time data what have i done wrong? any suggestions? i'm kinda new to gnuplot so i don't know what to do any help would be great. thanks in advance!
