How to set the current date in the gnuplot title

Question

It's possible to set the current date in the gnuplot title?

Something like...

set title "date of execution = datetime()"

Thanks in advance.

Alexandre.

Answer 1

Use strftime and time(0) to add a time/data to your title, e.g.:

set title "data of execution ".strftime("%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y", time(0))

Alternatively, if it doesn't have to be in the title you can also use

set timestamp
