Gnuplot - data points in script

Question

I have C++ program that now generates two files:

• data file (with columns of data)
  
• gnuplot script (to set ranges and labels properly)

So, for plot I need to have two files which are related to each other.

Is there any possibility, to pack it all to one file? I mean: to put data points coordinates inside gnuplot script?

I am using gnuplot 4.4.

Answer 1

Yes, you can put datapoints inside your gnuplot script. The simplest example would be

plot "-" with lines, "-" with lines
1 1
2 2
3 3
e
1 3
2 2
3 1
