gnuplot question

[Kroonen]

Hi

I want to graph some with gnuplot, everything works only the xrange not. The problem is quotes where to place what

I have this

the xrange must look like this

set xrange ["2011-01-02_10:20:00":"2011-01-03_10:20:00"]

#!/usr/bin/gnuplot

datey="`date +%Y-%m-%d --date='1 days ago'`"
tijd="`date +%H:%M:%S`"
daten="`date +%Y-%m-%d`"
set terminal png transparent small size 950,400 crop
set output '/var/www/temp/testje.png'
set xdata time
set timefmt '%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'
set xrange ["$datey"_"$tijd":"$daten"_"$tijd"]

I get

gnuplot> set xrange ["$datey"_"$tijd":"$daten"_"$tijd"]
^
':' or keyword 'to' expected

Any ideas are welcome

Oldskool thought, have you tried to backslash the : ?

Code: Select all

set xrange ["$datey"_"$tijd"\:"$daten"_"$tijd"]

2. Or perhaps skip the : and use the word to including the use of some spaces.
3. Or perhaps the strings shouldn't be qouted but the : does need quotes?

Code: Select all

set terminal png transparent size <SIZE> crop
set output '<OUT>.png'
set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S"
set xlabel " "
set title '<TL>'

set ytics ("Off" 0, "On" 1)
set y2tics ("Off" 0, "On" 1)
set yrange [-0.1:1.1]
set y2range [-0.1:1.1]
set ylabel "Position"
set y2label "Position"

plot "< awk '{print $1, $3==\"on\"? 1 : 0; }' <IN>"\

This is a simple paste from a gnuplot from the fs20.gplot file from the FHEM directory. From every example I see you can't use variables like that in the xrange or yrange.
Another thing that I noticed:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/gnuplot

datey="`date +%Y-%m-%d --date='1 days ago'`"
tijd="`date +%H:%M:%S`"
daten="`date +%Y-%m-%d`"
set terminal png transparent small size 950,400 crop
set output '/var/www/temp/testje.png'
set xdata time
set timefmt '%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'
set xrange ["$datey"_"$tijd":"$daten"_"$tijd"]

Shouldn't this be:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/gnuplot

set datey="`date +%Y-%m-%d --date='1 days ago'`"
set tijd="`date +%H:%M:%S`"
set daten="`date +%Y-%m-%d`"
set terminal png transparent small size 950,400 crop
set output '/var/www/temp/testje.png'
set xdata time
set timefmt '%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'
set xrange ["$datey"_"$tijd":"$daten"_"$tijd"]

you forgot to put "set " infront of the key variables you're trying to use.

Any update Richard?

Did you get it working and what was the error?

[Kroonen]

Well now it works with this config

#!/usr/bin/gnuplot
datey="`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S --date='1 days ago'`"
daten="`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`"
set terminal png size 350,100 x101010 x808080 xcd0000 xcd0000 x78a7fc tiny
set output '/var/www/temp/buitentemp.png'
set xdata time
set timefmt '%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S'
set xrange [datey:daten]
set xlabel " "
set ytics nomirror
set format x "%a\n%H:%M%"
set border 0
set key off
set y2tics
set title 'Outside'
