Simple XY plot with gnuplot
I can never remember the code to do a simple xy plot in gnuplot. So here it is:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | set size squareset ylabel "Population"set xlabel "Distance"set terminal postscript eps colorset output "plot.eps"plot "data" using 1:2 with lines |
Plots an eps file called plot.eps from a file called data. data contains 2 columns, the first is the x axis the second the y.
Change lines to points to get a scatter graph.

Thanks for your contribution to the world of people who love gnuplot but think the documentation is horrific.
