- I am gathering data from various sources and placing it into columns
- in a file for processing by gnuplot. The problem is that I do not always
- have the same number of data points in each column. This is not a case of
- missing data, it is simply the end of the data in a particular column.
- I would like gnuplot to just stop plotting the curve when there is no
- more data in the column. I only know the *number of* points in a column,
- but not necessarily the range of the data, so limiting the range is out.
- Also, I am likely to have two or more curves on one graph, and do not want
- the same range limitations on the other curves necessarily.
- Does anyone have any ideas which might allow me to plot data files with
- such a format (i.e. unequal column lengths) within the current gnuplot
- environment? Thanks in advance for any help.
