Eric, thanks for this suggestion as well as the one using org-babel (which I would have typically used myself these days). However, the point still stands: why doesn't what Johan tried initially work? I have narrowed down what causes the problem although I don't understand why (I haven't had any time to look at the elisp code). Basically, the problem with Johan's initial table was the extra empty row at the end: --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:]" | 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 | | 2010-02-28 | 92.0 | | | | --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- With the empty row there, the "using 1:2" option to the gnuplot plot command is not generated correctly, instead generating "using 1:xticlable(1)" which gnuplot doesn't like! If the last row is deleted, everything works just fine (even if February doesn't have 29 days in 2010 ;-).
