Gnuplot : How to 2D plot a 3D data file, using certain lives
So, this question has been answered before but it didn't actually worked for me.
Let's say we wave 4 blocks with 4 columns and 3 lines.
I want to plot the 3rd line of every block, picking two columns of my choice.
The command
plot "data.0000.tab" every ::2::2 using 1:3 with lines
did not work.(Empty plot)
Any advice? :(
with points
with linespoints

Maybe you intended to type
plot "data.0000.tab" every :::2::2 using 1:3 with lines
Just fixed it (also removed one ':' )

Do the points show up when you plot
with points
(orwith linespoints
) instead? gnuplot draws lines only between points it considers "adjacent", which points from different blocks usually are not.– user8153
