plot and splot are the primary commands of the program. They plot functions and data in many, many ways. plot is used to plot 2-d functions and data, while splot plots 3-d surfaces and data. Syntax: plot {ranges} {
| {" " {using ...}}} {title} {style} {, {title} {style}...} splot {ranges} { | {" " {index i} {using ...}}} {title} {style} {, {title} {style}...} where either a or the name of a data file enclosed in quotes is supplied. A function is a mathematical expression, or a pair ( plot) or triple ( splot) of mathematical expressions in the case of parametric functions. User-defined functions and variables may also be defined here. plot and splot commands can be as simple as plot sin(x) and splot x * y or as complex as (!) plot [t=1:10] [-pi:pi*2] tan(t), "data.1" using 2:3 with lines, t**2 with points Available Subtopic(s): data-file errorbars parametric ranges index style title
