org-plot - changing colors

org-plot - changing colors

[Stephan Fabel]

Hello,

apologies if this is the wrong group.

I'm trying to plot a table which looks like this:

| Team      | Bu | R | Bk |  G |  T | % Bu |  % R | % Bk |   %G |
|-----------+----+---+----+----+----+------+------+------+------|
| Team 1    |  4 | 5 |  2 | 24 | 35 | 11.4 | 14.3 |  5.7 | 68.6 |
| Team 2    |  3 | 2 |  1 | 35 | 41 |  7.3 |  4.9 |  2.4 | 85.4 |
| Team 3    |  5 | 8 |  3 |  6 | 22 | 22.7 | 36.4 | 13.6 | 27.3 |
| Team 4    |  6 | 4 |  5 | 15 | 30 | 20.0 | 13.3 | 16.7 | 50.0 |
| Team 5    |  5 | 7 |  4 | 22 | 38 | 13.2 | 18.4 | 10.5 | 57.9 |
| Team 6    |  8 | 9 |  6 | 27 | 50 | 16.0 | 18.0 | 12.0 | 54.0 |
| Team 7    |  1 | 3 |  0 | 19 | 23 |  4.3 | 13.0 |  0.0 | 82.6 |
| Team 8    | 10 | 7 |  1 |  4 | 22 | 45.5 | 31.8 |  4.5 | 18.2 |
| Team 9    |  3 | 4 |  1 | 15 | 23 | 13.0 | 17.4 |  4.3 | 65.2 |
| Team 10   |  2 | 4 |  1 | 18 | 25 |  8.0 | 16.0 |  4.0 | 72.0 |
| Team 11   |  1 | 1 |  0 | 21 | 23 |  4.3 |  4.3 |  0.0 | 91.3 |
| Team 12   |  8 | 2 |  1 | 45 | 56 | 14.3 |  3.6 |  1.8 | 80.4 |

Plotting this with

#+PLOT: ind:1 deps:(7 8 9 10) type:2d with:histogram   \
        set:"ylabel '%'" set:"style fill solid 0.5"

works like a charm, except I'd like to change the colors of the
histogram bars (as it turns out Bu=Blue, R=Red, Bk=Black and G=Green as
per the title row in the table).

What's the recommended way to go about this? I'm not super familiar with
gnuplot, but before I go deep there, I figured I'd ask if there's a
simple 'org-plot'-way of doing this?

Thanks,
Stephan

I had luck changing the colors with a header like this, where the last
two lines are the additional bits:

   #+PLOT: ind:1 deps:(7 8 9 10) type:2d with:histogram
   #+PLOT: set:"ylabel '%'" set:"style fill solid 0.5" set:"style fill solid 0.5"
   #+PLOT: set:"lt 1 lc rgb 'blue'" set:"lt 2 lc rgb 'red'"
   #+PLOT: set:"lt 3 lc rgb 'black'" set:"lt 4 lc rgb 'green'"

I know very little about gnuplot and even less about org-plot, though,
so there might be a better way to do this.
