Hi,
I often like to use gnuplot to produce output which I then thread
together into movie files. The problem I have is as follows:
Let's imagine that I have a dataset that spans the xaxis from 0 to 10
(the trajectory of a particle, say). Now I want to animate this by
making gnuplot produce plots that are just single points, that when
threaded together make a plot that show the point moving around in the
plot.
Of course, if I don't explicitly set the xrange for each plot, I just
get the point centred in the plot, which of course doesn't show the
particle moving when I thread them together. I could set the xrange
manually, but the idea is that GNUplot should find this out for
itself.
In short, is there a way of telling GNUplot to calculate the xrange by
reading in a set of data, but only using a plotting a single point in
that data? In essence, the autorange for the plot would be based on
the entire data block, even though I only plot a subset.
I hope this was clear.
Michael.
