  • Provide a dense (lots of lines) X-Y plot with a string close to the gra

    From Franz Gotsis@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 17 03:40:32 2020
    I have a graph with about 40 lines (time series) which should visualize
    which category behave similar and which ones are showing peculiar behavior.

    code:
    plot\
    '/<path>/CurrentCellSelection-in-GNUplot-Format.txt' using 1:2 with
    linespoi title 'cat 1',\
    '/<path>/CurrentCellSelection-in-GNUplot-Format.txt' using 1:3 with
    linespoi title 'cat 2',\
    ...
    '/<path>/CurrentCellSelection-in-GNUplot-Format.txt' using 1:41 with
    linespoi title 'cat 40',\
    replot

    At the moment I can either show a string at all points which renders the
    graph way to crowded or none at all. Is there a way to specify that the category should be printed for category 1 time series close to the value
    for 1990 and for category 2 close to the value for 1991 and so on?

    kind regards
    Franz from Munich, Germany

    I don´t really follow, but ...

    By "string" you mean the legend for each plot line? The legend, or
    "key" in gnuplot terminology, can only be in one place. You want a
    label at the last datapoint of each line instead?

    fname = '/path.....'
    stats fname
    np = STATS_records
    plot for [i=1:41] fname us 1:(column(i+1)) w lp lc i notitle, \
    for [i=1:41] fname ev ::np::np us 1:(column(i+1)):('cat'.i):(i) w
    label lc variable notitle

    Not tried now. You can always shift the label by adding some f(i) to
    the positions, or choosing a different than the last record
    depending on i.
