Hi there,

I've been through all the docs and demos I could find, but haven't seen
a way to create bar graphs using GNUPlot, only line graphs.  Is GNUPlot
capable of creating bar graphs?  If so, can you please direct me to the
docs and/or demos pages?

Thanks,
Steve

Depends on what exactly you mean by a "bar graph". What gnuplot
definitely doesn't do (yet) is filled-in ("solid") bars. The reason
being that it still thinks of its output device largely as a classic
plotter (the pen-on-paper variety, that is), for which such operation
just aren't feasible.  For now, you have to post-process your output.
See www.gnuplot.org for pointers to the scripts by Bernhard Reiter that
do this.

Or did you simply not find the 'with bars' plotting style, yet?
