Subject: Plotting a table of date+time pairs
Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2024 02:21:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874j3snog0.fsf@web.de> (raw)

Hi,

I want to plot two columns of an org table: the first column (the "x"
coordinate) consists of dates, the second column contains a time value
associated with each date.

It seems this is not as easy to do as I had hoped: AFAIU, for making
gnuplot interpret the "y"-value (!) as a time value I need to add
something like

  using "1:(timecolumn(2,\"%H:%M\"))"

to the gnuplot command line (it took me quite a while to find out how to
do it at all...)

And AFAIK this is only possible by tweaking
`org-plot/preset-plot-types'.  I need to add a complete new type of
plot!

Is there maybe a simpler way (I know I could add redundant columns to
the table to help org - that's not really what I want, though)?


TIA,

Michael.
