Gnuplot Point size for my own pattern type

I am trying to get different point sizes for my point types.

TimeStamp	Response
2			2
3			2
4			8
5			2

I am able to get different point sizes using this command plot 'num.dat' using 2 with points ps 2, '' u 3 with points ps 5

But if I want different point sizes for my own pattern types. Sizes remain the same. The command I used is: plot 'num.dat' using 2 with points pt "6" ps 2, '' u 3 with points pt "5" ps 5

Same Point Size

Can someone help in correcting my commands.

AH.

Solution

  • It's probably somewhere hidden in the manual...(couldn't find it right away). Since your point is a character you need to change it via font ",size".

    Code:

    set samples 10
plot '+' u 1:($1**2) w p pt "1" font ",8" ti "fontsize 8", \
     ''  u 1:($1**2+10) w p pt "2" font ",12" ti "fontsize 12", \
     ''  u 1:($1**2+20) w p pt "2" font ",16" ti "fontsize 16", \
     ''  u 1:($1**2+30) w p pt "4" font ",20" ti "fontsize 20"
