Modify canvas size in gnuplot

I have 300 samples represented, at the moment of representing this data in a graph, it is not possible to distinguish the separation between each sample, How can I do so that the samples are separated a little more and look clearer.

Current output:

Solution

  • If I understood correctly the question, there are a few things you could try. First, make your point smaller using: 

    plot "<jot -r 300" with linespoints ps 0.5

    linespoints

    You can also use impulses instead:

    plot "<jot -r 300" with impulses

    impulses

    Or, assuming you know what your range of x values is, split it in two of more panels:

    set multiplot layout 2,1
set xrange [0:150]
plot "<jot -r 300" not w imp
set xrange [150:300]
plot "<jot -r 300" not w imp

    multiplot

    Hope it helps!
