So I have the following files: rate1.txt, rate2.txt, ..., rateN.txt rate1.txt has the following contents: 0 5 1 10 2 11 3 12.5 ... ... rate2.txt has the following contents: 0 15.7 1 12 2 12 3 124.5 ... ... and so on. Now, I want to plot a graph which will take the corresponding lines from each of the files and average it out: For example: If I had rate1.txt and rate2.txt, I basically wish to plot a file which looks like this 0 (5+15.7)/2 1 (10+12)/2 ... ... What I could do (and what I have done) is create a file rate.txt which averages out the values in rate1.txt, rate2.txt,... rateN.txt and then I could just plot rate.txt simply using GNUPLOT. So I was wondering if I could avoid that step and tell GNUPLOT to do the following: ``Hey GNUPLOT open files rate1.txt and rate2.txt. Let column1 in rate1.txt be $1, column2 in rate1.txt be $a and column2 in rate2.txt be $b, so plot $1 on the X axis and ($a+$b)/2 on the Y axis." Whew! Thanks for reading this!
