[ILUG] gnuplot - date and time of plot ?

[Vanush Paturyan]

To exclude line from plotted data add '#' at the beginnig of line.
gnuplot will treat it as a comment.

Another way is to rewrite ascii file with data so it will be "loadable"
file for gnuplot.
Something like this will work:

filename.gpl:

set title 'wharewer it is'
plot '-'
0.1 1
0.2 2 (your data)
0.3 3

load this file in gnuplot with command load 'filename.gpl'
