GnuPlot - Plot one variable and its multiple properties

votes

I have a data file in csv format which looks like this:

NodeID Prop1 Prop2 Prop3

1, 0.5, 0.5, 4

2, 0.3, 0.7, 5

I want to show correlation of different properties for every nodeID I have. I want to plot property 1 on X-axis and property 2 on y-axis and similary for Property 1 vs property 3. This is to show for one node how different properties look like. I have around 2500 nodes.

Is it possible to plot something like this in Gnuplot?

I tried using the variable keyword but I am not sure it is convincing enough.

plot 'localView.csv' using 2:3:4 w points ps variable lc palette

Any hints or help w.r.t this will be highly appreciated Thanks!

That is a very general question... Any hints about what you exactly want to stress? How many nodeIDs do you have to show? How many properties. Maybe you could use the parallelaxes feature (available only in version 5, see gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_cvs/parallel.html – Christoph

How about plotting prop2 and prop3 separately?

This uses the same X and Y axes for prop2 and prop3:

plot 'localView.csv' using 2:3 w points ps variable pt 1 lc palette,\
'localView.csv' using 2:4 w points ps variable pt 2 lc palette}

or have two different Y axes for prop2 and prop3:

plot 'localView.csv' using 2:3 w points ps variable pt 1 lc palette,\
'localView.csv' using 2:4 w points ps variable pt 2 lc palette axes x1y2
