gnuplot demo plots

Gnuplot comes with a large collection of demonstration plots. You can step through these interactively by typing the command below in gnuplot's demo/ directory — it should be part of your installation, otherwise get it from the source code archive or file-by-file from cvs.

    gnuplot> load "all.dem"

Hint: you can get a single big postscript file of all the demo plots by the following sequence of commands

    gnuplot> set terminal postscript color solid
    gnuplot> set output "all_demos.ps"
    gnuplot> load "all.dem"
    gnuplot>

Indexed online versions of the demos are available by clicking below:
