Chapter 2. Essential gnuplot

Figure 2.1. Our first plot: plot sin(x)

Figure 2.2. An unsuitable default plot range: plot sin(x), x, x-(x**3)/6

Figure 2.3. Using explicit plot ranges: plot [][-2:2] sin(x), x, x-(x**3)/6

Figure 2.4. Plotting from a file: plot "prices" using 1:2, "prices" using 1:3
