Gnuplot自体は多くのところで紹介されているので、使用例をいくつか挙げてみる。 ノイズ負荷の模式図を作る時に作った描画。 軸をいじったりする時はunsetコマンドやsetコマンドで設定することになる。
unset yzeroaxis unset xzeroaxis unset tics unset key set sample 500 set border 2
ticsは目盛りを消す、sampleは文字通りサンプル数を増やしてスムーズな描画を行う。
plot [-3.14*2:3.14*2][-1.5:1.5] sin(x)+(rand(0)-0.5)*0.8 \ with lines lw 4 lc rgb "blue", 1.1 \ with lines dt (5,10) lw 4 lc rgb "red" , 0 \ with lines lc black lw 2, sin(x) lc rgb "black" lw 3
plot [-3.14*2:3.14*2][-1.5:1.5] sin(x)+(rand(0)-0.5)*5.0 \ with lines lw 4 lc rgb "blue", 1.1 \ with lines dt (5,10) lw 4 lc rgb "red" , 0 \ with lines lc black lw 2, sin(x) lc rgb "black" lw 3
plot [-3.14*2:3.14*2][-1.5:1.5] sin(x)+(rand(0)-0.5)*0.0 \ with lines lw 4 lc rgb "blue", 1.1 \ with lines dt (5,10) lw 4 lc rgb "red" , 0 \ with lines lc black lw 2, sin(x) lc rgb "black" lw 3
Windows版等だとメニューからEMFの出力等を行えるし、コマンドからepsの出力も行える。
set terminal postscript eps enhanced color set output "plot.eps" replot
Windows版だと、通常のインストールでカレントディレクトリが%USERPROFILE%\Documentsに設定されているので、 マイドキュメントにファイルが出力される。戻すときは、windowsかx11にターミナルを戻せば良い。
set terminal windows または set terminal x11
Personally, I'd have a far better time writing scripts if I had some more creative shells to script in... ASMsh: The Assembly shell. Commands include MOV, SHL, SHR, JNE, etc. shellTM: Turing machine shell. Only four commands. Read, write, move left, move right. Capable of producing any programming language imaginable, given enough time and nerves of steel. GeneSH: Four commands. G, A, T, C. Need I say more? Qsh: Only uses one environment variable, which contains all possible values simultaneously. Method of scripting: isolate the universe in which the desired result is already accomplished, and intersect with it. Of course, I never said they'd be easy to use. But then, if these shells existed, and I knew a sysadmin who used any of them, you can believe Sysadmin Day would be a far more celebrated holiday. The Night Watchman on a Slashdot Comment
