I am creating a 2D plot from several data files (snapshot_XXXX.dat) using the following snippet
set terminal pngcairo
n=1000 # Number of snapshots
load 'color.pal'
# cbrange[-6:-2]
unset key
set style fill solid
set ylabel "Snapshot/Time"
# set yrange [0.5:n+0.5]
# set ytics 1 # manage it well in order to avoid black lines at the
borders
set xrange[0:2021]
set yrange[0:8]
# This functions gives the name of the snapshot file
snapshot(i) = sprintf("snapshot_%04d.dat", i)
plot for [i=1:n] './snapshots/'. snapshot(n+1-i) using 1:2:3 with boxes
linecolor palette
where the result is: picture
The snapshots look like
snapshot_0001.dat snapshot_0002.dat snapshot_0003.dat
1 1.0 0.0 1 1.0 0.0 1 1.0 0.0
2 1.5 0.0 2 1.5 0.0 2 1.5 0.0
3 2.0 0.5 3 2.0 0.7 3 2.0 0.7
4 2.5 1.0 4 2.5 1.5 4 2.5 1.5
5 3.0 0.5 5 3.0 0.7 5 3.0 1.1
6 3.5 0.0 6 3.5 0.0 6 3.5 0.7
7 4.0 0.0 7 4.0 0.0 7 4.0 0.0
8 4.5 0.0 8 4.5 0.0 8 4.5 0.0
9 5.0 0.0 9 5.0 0.0 9 5.0 0.0
Of course these are fake data since the original files are too heavy to add to this post. I would like to add horizontal lines at particular times (axis labelled SnapShot/TIME).
Is someone can help me with this issue?
