# Launch interactive shell.

set title "the plot"
# Labels.
set xlabel "abc"
set ylabel "def"
# Grid.
set grind
# Output format, 'help set term' for all output formats.

set logscale x 2
# Change separator, default is whitespace.
set datafile separator ","
```

```sh
# With specific style (eg lines, linespoint, boxes, steps, impulses, ..).
plot "<data_file>" with <plot_style>
> cat data.txt
1 1 3
2 2 2
3 3 1
4 2 2
# Plot specific column.
plot "data.txt" using 1:2, "data.txt" using 1:3
# Equivalent using the special file "", which re-uses the previous input file.
plot "data.txt" using 1:2, "" using 1:3
# Plot piped data.
plot "< head -n2 data.txt"
# Plot with alternate title.
plot "data.txt" title "moose"
```
## Example: Specify range directly during plot
```sh
# Plot two functions in the range 0-10.
plot [0:10] 10*x, 20*x
```
## Example: multiple data sets in plot
```sh
{{#include gnuplot/mem_lat.plot}}
```

be run as follows.
```sh
{{#include gnuplot/plot.sh:3:9}}
```
