Hi, I'm interested in plotting with non-numeric data for the x component of the data points but don't want to have the gnuplot default of automatic spacing. Does anyone know a way to have a word displayed instead of a number but have the words unevenly spaced according to a "hidden value"? Example: | 1 | x: where it should be on the scale | y | |---+------------------------------------+----| | a | 0 | 10 | | b | 10 | 20 | | c | 11 | 30 | | d | 40 | 40 | Does that make sense? If I just had the table minus the 2nd column, it would space a->d evenly as if they were 0,1,2,3 or something like that. I'd like control over their spacing. Thanks, John
