I needed to display a set of text-labels at periodically, regularly varying
x, y locations on my plot.
1 -1 A
2 -1 B
3 -1 C
4 -1 D
etc.
Currently I do it with a text file that looks just like above and
plot "x_labels.txt" using 1:2:3 with labels
But since the second col. does not vary this is a more elegant approach:
plot "x_labels.txt" using 1:(-1):3 with labels
The first col. though is regularly increasing. Is there a way of
representing that too mathematically doing away the need for an
unnecessary
lookup from a text file?
Thus I could only leave the text names in the data-file. Conceptually
this
seems the most elegant approach (for just a single plot it does not
matter,
I guess but I was trying to get a sytem of scripts and super-scripts set
up
for automation)
