About

Collection of Gnuplot scripts inspired by by Brighten's blog post. Most of the plots will work on gnuplot 4.6.5 or above, but a few that use dashtype need gnuplot 5.x.

Colorbrewer

Some of the plots scripts use the excellent gnuplot-colorbrewer. To make such plots work, clone the gnuplot-colorbrewer package, and add the following lines to the '~/.gnuplot' file.

set loadpath                                      \
    '~/<path-to-gnuplot-colorbrewer>/diverging'   \
    '~/<path-to-gnuplot-colorbrewer>/qualitative' \
    '~/<path-to-gnuplot-colorbrewer>/sequential'
