Gnuplot question: how to plot 3D points as colored points in map view?
I have a simple gnuplot question. I have a set of points (list of x,y,z values; irregularly spaced, i.e. no grid) that I want to plot. I want the plot to look like this:
- points in map view (no 3D view)
- color of each point should depend on its z-value.
- I want to define my own color scale
- plot should contain a little legend box in the form of a color bar listing what z-value corresponds to what color
I tried pm3d, but it seems it only handles gridded data, i.e. x,y's on a regular grid, or at least displays them as such. I just want to see the individual points (no interpolation).
Thanks for your help here.

hi,
I believe a mount point does not have to be a physical disk, but rather a logical one? Is this correct? if so, how can I find out if my mount points are on different physical disks?

Does anyone know how can one draw lines between 2 sets of data for the same point.
let's say that the three points

became:
(x2,y2) = (3,6) (6,4) (4, 0)
so if I want to plot these points and match every (x1,y1) with the corresponding (x2,y2), how can I do it?... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I am using gnuplot to plot a 3D plot with "set view map".
My data looks like
======
X Y Z
======
100 200 0
200 300 1
200 200 0
.
.
.
The third column only has either 0 or 1. How do I generate a map view plot that will have black (white) for 0 (1)?
Thanks,

muplot
MUPLOT(1) User Commands MUPLOT(1)
NAME
muplot - plot a multi-curve figure from multiple data by using Gnuplot
SYNOPSIS
muplot [OPTION]... [STYLE] [FILE] [AXES] [FILE] [AXES] ...
DESCRIPTION
Muplot is a simple, non-interactive gnuplot-wrapper to plot a multi-curve figure from multiple data (files). It can produce PostScript,
PDF, PNG or JPEG output file formats.
OPTIONS
--help|-H
display help
--version
output version and license message
-h display short help
-V print program version number
-s create PostScript file
-S send PostScript output to STDOUT (the same as '-s -o -')
-n create PNG file
-j create JPEG file
-p create PDF file (requires the gnuplot "pdfcairo" driver)
-c <cmd>
execute gnuplot command(s) (the default plot style is used)
-m monochrome plot (valid only for PostScript)
-l set plot size to 800x600 (valid for PNG and JPEG)
-o base name of the output file
-q quiet mode (all messages except errors to be suppressed)
-i ignore local command file './.muplotset'
-I <file>
specify an alternative command file instead of './.muplotset'
Styles:
l lines
p points
lp lines and points (default)
pp circle points
d dots
b boxes
g grid
e errorbars - default used columns are 1:2:3 (x:y:yerror)
a fields with arrows; The data file has a special format in this case. Use 'prefield' to prepare such data files.
dt=<fmt>
date/time series with the specified format; For example: dt="%H:%M.%S@%H:%M" where the first part, in front of "@", defines the data
format, and the second part defines the format that will be used for tic labels. Here, hours and minutes are separated by `:',
respectively minutes and seconds by `.' Another example could be a date: dt="%Y-%m-%d".
u=<fmt>
user specified format as defined in Gnuplot
Axes:
x:y,x:y-z
columns in the file defining the x/y-axes of the curve(s); Default are 1:2 or 1:2:3 for data with errors. In case that only one col-
umn is provided the default axes are 0:1 - the x-axis will be a simple index then.
File(s) could be a single file name whereas '-' means <stdin>, many files enclosed in '' or "" like "file1 file2 file3", or any valid shell
pattern as for example "*.dat". The files '$HOME/.muplotset' and './.muplotset', if existing, will be included at the beginning of the gnu-
plot script. The command block between "#BEGIN" and "#END" in those files will be pasted to the end of the script. If you want that the
global '$HOME/.muplotset' is ignored, create in your local directory a file named '.muplotset.noglobal'. In case you want to view the out-
put, define the env variable MUPLOT_VIEWER and export it, for example:
MUPLOT_VIEWER="xpdf -z page"; export MUPLOT_VIEWER
Then the program will prompt you to view the plot, and after confirmation the viewer will present the graphics. If the postscript file for-
mat is chosen ('-s' option), and MUPLOT_VIEWER is not defined, the viewer is preset to 'gv', and per default you are prompted to view the
output. To disable this behavior, set MUPLOT_VIEWER="".
EXAMPLES
1) On X-terminal view a multi-curve plot of data files with extension 'dat'
muplot l "*.dat"
2) Print a sinus curve in black-and-white color on a PostScript printer
muplot -m -S -c "set title 'Function f(x)=sin(x)'; plot sin(x);" | lpr
3) Plot data from file "example.dat" using columns 1:2, 3:4, and 3:5 as x/y-axes in the multi-curve plot; a PostScript file with the name
"example.ps" is automatically created.
muplot -s lp example.dat 1:2,3:4-5
4) Create graphics in PDF format reading data from file "example.1.dat" (columns 1:2), and from file "example.2.dat" (columns 3:4)
muplot -p lp example.1.dat 1:2 example.2.dat 3:4
5) View data where the third column is a date of the form 'yyyy-mm-dd'
cat example_counts_per_day.dat | muplot dt="%Y-%m-%d" - 3:1
