well, for what i tried, ticstrings just contained a list of times
formatted like
[10-21 09:15, 10-21 09:44, 10-21 09:59, and so on.]
i did write mine a little different than the example that Grant gave me
because its a little
different application of time.
i think i am having trouble knowing

OK. What did ticstrings contain in the demo I wrote for you?

If the x-axis is time, gnuplot will plot it correctly but it will connect
*all* the datapoints and scale the x-axis so that everything will fit on the
graph. Is it the autoscaling or conneting that what you think is wrong?

Ok, first off, thanks for all the help guys,
this part set xtics (label pos, label pos, label pos)
is mainly what i was confused about. the 'pos' part. i think that the
way i am writing
this leaves this out. in fact, i am pretty sure.

It looks like it. Though I've used custom tics in the past, it
was never for time values. Based on the help from gnuplot, I
suspect you can get what you want without doing custom tics,

It appears that the Gnuplot modules has coerced my data into

Passing Gnuplot.Data a Numeric array object is a good
work-around. Otherwise, Gnuplot.Data will
tics.append('%s %s' % (time.strftime(...), x))
# might need time.localtime(x) for that last term.
ok, tried this and it worked.
but the first plot is at the last plot of data
back to that math mistake i mentioned earlier.
so, thanks much, i will be back when i mess around with it some
WE DID IT !
little more tinkering and correcting this
diff = start_time - end_time (vrs the other way around)
and its working.
so many thanks gents, a lot !

that and i am kinda new enough not to really get what %s is all about.
i know it formats a string.
can you simply pass a list to 'set xtics' ?
ok, i tried something similar to what you posted.
a little simpler though.
i am running a query on a database and making a list of time, value
pairs
kinda like this
plot_points = ([time, value], [time, value], [time, value])
gnuplot complains that it needs a float for one of the values.
i can plot

the value is a number anywhere between 0 and 15.
the datetime is formatted like 2005-10-20 08:40:34
i could strip it and make a timestamp out of it. but reading the
number of seconds since january of 1970 doesn't make a neat chart.

lemme get this straight. you used
gp('set term png')
is this an example of sending normal gnuplot commands?
if so, are all of the gnuplot commands available ?
thanks so much this is helping me out a lot here

Grant Edwards grante Yow! Do you like TENDER
this is great, because the docs on gnuplots website are a bit easier
for me to grasp.
thanks so much for your time on this one. you really have helped me a
lot.
i will not get a change to work on this till monday. so i may have more
questions then. This is sure a point in the right direction.
Hey there,
i have tried about every graphing package for python i can get to work
on my system. gnuplot, pychart, biggles, gdchart, etc.. (cant get
matplot to work)
so far, they all are working ok. I need to make an x y chart for some
data that comes in from sensors at different times durring the

i have tried to use unix timestamps, and i have also tried with

do i need to use a scale that isn't linear (default in most) ?
how do i putt this off ?
thanks btw.

I would try to live with time scale being fixed and insert
None (or whatever value is used by charting package) for
times where observations were not taken. This will mean that
you have to preprocess your data by determining a time step
step value that will fit your data. If you get 3
i have thought about doing this, just a little different. i was going
to list the value pairs.
take the start time and end time and plot 100 empty plots between them.
add the value pairs, sort by time, and then draw it. The only thing is
it get kinda complicated when the times change a lot. they

I don't understand what you mean by the time scale being
fixed. It's not. If you just pass the time,value pairs to
gnuplot, it does exactly what it should.
