Filetype
For some standard binary file formats gnuplot can extract all the necessary
information from the file in question. As an example, "format=edf" will read
ESRF Header File format files. For a list of the currently supported file
formats, type show datafile binary filetypes.
There is a special file type called auto for which gnuplot will check if the
binary file's extension is a quasi-standard extension for a supported format.
Command line keywords may be used to override settings extracted from the file.
The settings from the file override any defaults. (See set datafile binary (p. )
for details.)
