There is also an option that will interpret the first entry in a column of input data (i.e. Plot 'datafile' using 3:4:xticlabels(1) with linespoints However, rather than generating regularly spaced tics along the x axis labeled numerically, gnuplot will position a tic mark along the x axis at the X coordinate of each point and label the tic mark with text taken from column 1 of the input datafile.

The example below plots a line through a series of points with (X,Y) coordinates taken from columns 3 and 4 of the input datafile. Splot 'datafile' using 1:2:3:4 with labelsĪ column of text data can also be used to label the ticmarks along one or more of the plot axes. Text fields can be positioned within a 2-D or 3-D plot using the commands: plot 'datafile' using 1:2:4 with labels The following line from a datafile is interpreted to contain four columns, with a text field in column 3: 1.000 2.000 'Third column is all of this text' 4.00 Data files may contain string data consisting of either an arbitrary string of printable characters containing no whitespace or an arbitrary string of characters, possibly including whitespace, delimited by double quotes.
