gnuplot显示cannot open file

您是想问gnuplot显示cannotopenfile的原因吗？是路径的问题。gnuplot显示cannotopenfile是因为找不到gnuplot文件。包含的头文件大小写都无所谓的，那是宏定义，可以识别的。是路径的问题。

GNUPLOT 读取逗号分隔的数据文件

gnuplot

有时，我们的数据文件中各个数据之间是用逗号作为分隔符的，比如标准的以“CSV”为后缀的那种数据文件。如果在逗号之后没有空格分隔，默认情况下gnuplot是无法直接读取的。

这时可以有两种方案，第一种是提前处理一下数据文件，比如将逗号替换为空格，随便一个文本处理软件都能很轻松的做这种替换。但是有时我们有很多这样的数据文件，每个都这样处理一下也挺麻烦的。

第二种方法就是在gnuplot中给出文件分隔符的信息，让gnuplot能够读懂我们的文件。下面将要说的就是这种方法。

比如我们有如下的文件：

可以看到，数据有三列，用逗号来分隔，我们下面的例子中之用到前两列。如果直接用如下命令的话得到的不是我们希望的结果。

[plain] view plaincopy

Plot 'sample.csv'

gnuplot 只解析出了第一列的数据。如果我们告诉gnuplot我们的数据有两列会怎样呢？

[plain] view plaincopy

Plot 'sample.csv' using 1:2

gnuplot 会抱怨说：

[html] view plaincopy

gnuplot>plot 'sample.csv' using 1:2

^

warning: Skipping data file with no valid points

^

x range is invalid

正确的方法是这样的：

plot 'sample.csv' using 1:2 "%lf,%lf"

格式字符串的格式与C语言中scanf的格式字符串是类似的，实际上gnuplot最后就是用的scanf 函数来读取数据。%lf 表示按照 double型浮点数类型来读取。需要注意的是gnuplot的格式化字符串不支持%f 。

gnuplot的格式化字符串还有很多的用法，这里就不多介绍了，有兴趣的可以参考帮助文档相关章节。
