gnuplot read unix timestamp

gnuplot, linux

Solution

Sorry, can't seem to delete. Was going to suggest:

set xdata time
set timefmt "%s"
set format x "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"
plot "file.txt" using 1:2 with linespoints

But it truncates the fraction and drops points from the line.

Problem

I have a file with data in this format: ``` 1351649601.045 421 2945 1351649601.684 1036 28591 1351649603.310 128 1620 1351649603.413 93 0 1351649603.375 132 1762 1351649603.318 218 1761 1351649603.434 412 176 1351649603.441 520 5780 1351649603.480 565 11070 1351649603.556 644 11535 gnuplot> set term png Terminal type set to 'png' gnuplot> set output "output.png" gnuplot> plot "data.txt" using 1:2 with lines ``` however, the date is not read properly by gnuplot. Do you have any ideas? solved: ``` set term png xffffff set output "output.png" set size 17,17 set title "HTTP payload size and response time" set style data fsteps set xlabel "Date" set timefmt "%s" set format x "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" set xdata time set ylabel "Payload/Response time" set grid set key left plot 'response' usi 1:2 with linespoints ```
