Hi,

I'm trying to plot multiple series from a data set I'm sending in from
standard input:

The current setup:
set xlabel "Date"
set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
set format x "%m/%d/%Y\n%H:%M"
set nokey
set ylabel 'Outside Temperature'
plot '-' using 1:3 with lines
2001-01-01 23:35:00 18.40
2001-01-01 23:37:00 18.40
2001-01-01 23:45:00 18.20
2001-01-01 23:55:00 18.10
2001-01-02 00:05:00 18.00
2001-01-02 00:15:00 17.70
e

But I'd like to add another column to it for another series.. From what the
manual seems to say I need to send another stream of data with the new
series.

Anyone know a better way?

Thanks,

Jay

Yes. Either send multiple datasets individually, via stdin (separated
with 'e' lines), or use a separate datafile instead of stdin.

Which of those is better depends on the particular application.
