One possibility is to increase the number of samples however building becomes slow and I cannot exceed 75 samples. The thing is that the transition between colors, in both surf plots actually is not very smooth, despite using shader=interp This surface need to be projected on a plane, which can be achieved by adding another surf plot. It would be better to put the blood pressure on the y-axis on the left, and the heart rate on the y-axis on the right, but I’m short on time, and haven’t learned how to do that yet.I am drawing a surf 3d plot in Tikz/Pgf using gnuplot. To create this graph of my blood pressure and heart rate: Plot 'bp-hr.dat' u 1:2 w lp t 'systolic', 'bp-hr.dat' u 1:3 w lp t 'diastolic', 'bp-hr.dat' u 1:4 w lp t 'heartrate' I then used this sequence of commands (including some trial and error that’s not shown): I had this dataset of my blood pressure and heart rate from yesterday: Replot # re-plot your data after making changes When you work from the Gnuplot command line, you’re working in a session: You can run shell commands from the Gnuplot command line: Set autoscale # let gnuplot determine ranges (default) It can be nice to have a grid on a chart, and it can also be nice to control the graph tickmarks, ranges, and origin: Plot sin(x) title 'Sin', tan(x) title 'Tangent' It’s fun and easy to plot formulas with Gnuplot: You can create ASCII plots in your Mac Terminal window: That series of commands creates this chart: Unset multiplot # exit multiplot mode (prompt changes back to 'gnuplot') Set multiplot # multiplot mode (prompt changes to 'multiplot') How to show multiple graphs in the output: Plot sin(x) title 'Sine Function', tan(x) title 'Tangent' Plot '4col.csv' u 1:2 w l title 'Square', '4col.csv' u 1:3 w l title 'Double' The result is fairly ugly.It is very angular, and obviously there must be some command to smooth it out. Plot '4col.csv' using 1:2 with lines title 'Square', '4col.csv' using 1:3 with lines title 'Double' I am trying to plot the following parametric equation in gnuplot: fx(t) -35cos(t) + 65cos(-.35t) fy(t) -35sin(t) - 65sin(-.35t) I am not using much more code than pasted above. The second command shown creates this chart: Plot '4col.csv' using 1:2 with lines, '4col.csv' using 1:3 with lines, '4col.csv' using 1:4 with lines Plot '4col.csv' using 1:2 with lines, '4col.csv' using 1:3 with lines To show multiple curves on one plot, use the 4col.csv file: You can adorn your plots with titles, labels, legend, arrows, and more: Plot '2col.csv' u 1:2 w l title 'Squared' # 'u' - using, 'w l' - with lines Plot '2col.dat' using 2:1 # 2=x, 1=y (reverse the graph) Plot '2col.dat' using 1:2 # 1=x, 2=y (this is the default) Plot '2col.dat' with lines title 'my curve' # this is really the line-title in the legend Plot '2col.dat' with linespoints # plot only elements 3 thru 7 Plot '2col.dat' with linespoints # plot the first 5 elements Plot '2col.dat' with points # just points (default) Plot '2col.dat' with linespoints # line and points Plot '2col.dat' with lines # connect points with a line Plot '2col.dat' # assumes col1=x, col2=y shows '+' at data points Opens plot in an ’AquaTerm’ on Mac OS Xįrom here you can do all sorts of fun things:.Assumes col1=x, col2=y shows ’+’ at data points.Plotting the data from a two-column file is easy: gnuplot demo script: m autogenerated by on Thu Apr 13 21:04:21 2023 gnuplot version gnuplot 6. It prompts you with gnuplot> as shown, but I won’t show that prompt in the examples below. The latest version of Gnuplot works with both formats without requiring you to specify a column-separator. Note that the columns in the first file are separated by whitespace, and the columns in the second file are separated by commas (a CSV file). The examples below use the following 2-column and 4-column data files: You can find more information about the need for this new brew command at this SO link. Please select a terminal with 'set terminal'. WARNING: Plotting with an 'unknown' terminal. You’ll know that you need that command if you get this error message when you try to run a plot command inside the gnuplot command line: Note that with OS X Yosemite (10.10.x) I had to use this brew command instead: To get started, you can use MacPorts or Homebrew to install Gnuplot on Mac OS X systems: Gnuplot is also highly scriptable: its syntax is concise and makes simple tasks simple, so it can be controlled entirely through command-line scripts. If you haven’t used it before, it’s an amazing tool for creating graphs and charts. Gnuplot is a standalone tool which takes data in a relatively simple format and can produce a wide-variety of figures: 2D or 3D, fancy or barebones and supports a lot of different output formats. I needed to use Gnuplot a little bit over the last few days, mostly to create 2D line charts, and these are my brief notes on how to get started with Gnuplot.
