please help me with gnuplot xrange time data format

[ygn]

Hi,

I have a log file in the following format.

09:00:01 02/01/05 891044 167212 540236 827 883 10 4 86
09:00:02 02/01/05 890168 167212 540236 859 744 14 5 81
09:00:03 02/01/05 890512 167212 540236 1138 1108 18 5 77
09:00:04 02/01/05 891036 167212 540236 1154 1253 5 4 91

I want to plot column 1 against column 10. But column 1 is time format.
I do not want x data to represent date and I only want time. My time
format is as follow
set timefmt \"%H:%M:%S %m\/%d\/%y\"
set format x \"%H:%M\"

I want to plot the graph between 9:00 to 10:00 how can I give xdata
range?
I type in as follows and it give me invalid command.
set xrange ["11:00":"14:00"]

I would appreciate for any help.

Regards
awt

You are at least missing
gnuplot> set xdata time
Additionally, you should use the timefmt for the xrange, not the
format x (which is meant for output only).

But I don't get your example working either; I have never worked
with time data so far.

Well, don't tell gnuplot to read the date, then!

My time format is as follow
set timefmt \"%H:%M:%S %m\/%d\/%y\"

Change this to

set timefmt '%H:%M:%S'

and watch the difference.

set xrange ["11:00":"14:00"]

This will have to bcome

set xrange ['11:00:00':"14:00:00"]

to match the input format (--> set timefmt), rather than the output
one (--> set format x)

Thanks a lot Broeker.
