Johan, I've played with this a bit and I also cannot get it to work. However, looking at the gnuplot comint buffer created, there is an error message that indicates that plotting xdata in time format requires a using statement to specify directly the columns to plot. I have tried, therefore, the following specification on the plot line: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+PLOT: title:"Weight" ind:1 deps:(2) type:2d with:linespoints set:"xdata time" set:"timefmt '%Y-%m-%d'" set:"yrange [90:]" ind:1 deps:(2) | Date | Kg | |------------+------| | 2010-02-21 | 95.0 | | 2010-02-22 | 93.0 | | 2010-02-23 | 92.0 | | 2010-02-24 | 91.5 | | 2010-02-25 | 91.0 | | 2010-02-29 | 92.0 | --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I had to put quotes around the time format and also (just in case) spelled out linespoints fully. However, this still doesn't work because org-plot/gnuplot generates the following plot command: ,---- | plot '/tmp/org-plot1831zcQ' using 2:xticlabel(1) with linespoints title 'Kg' `---- Note the strange using parameters! I am not sure where this is coming from unfortunately. Note that if I type this in directly in gnuplot, with "using 1:2", everything works just fine. eric _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
