gnuplot: Plot the graph for the specified graph definition file.
$ gnuplot ${path-to-definition-plt}
try on your machine

The command "gnuplot ${path-to-definition-plt}" is used to run the GNUplot program with a specific definition file.

  • "gnuplot" refers to the executable or command for running the GNUplot program. GNUplot is a command-line tool used for creating 2D and 3D plots and graphs.

  • "${path-to-definition-plt}" represents the path to a specific file that contains the definition or instructions for creating a plot. Typically, this file has a .plt extension. You need to replace "${path-to-definition-plt}" with the actual path to the .plt file on your system.

When you execute this command, GNUplot will read the instructions from the specified .plt file and generate the corresponding plot or graph as per the defined parameters and data provided in the file.
