Single digit month and day format specifier in Gnuplot 5.2

Question

I am using Gnuplot 5.2 and would like to use single-digit months and days (1-12 and 1-31). There are different format specifiers for zero padded hours (%k, %H, %l, and %I), but there doesn't appear to be equivalents for months and days.

Is there a modified format specifier or workaround to get single-digit months or days?

Answer 1

Try this:

Code:

### single digit day and month
reset session

set xrange [0:3600*24*60]
set format x "%01d.%01m.%Y" time
plot x

### end of code

Result:
