I am trying to extract a string from a csv capture. I am trying to plot labels on the graph.
these are the first few lines (variable amount):

You are using the wrong time specifier. You should use %b or %B depending if you have abbreviated or full month names. Check help time_specifiers.

I am using the 32-bit version of GNUPlot in a Window 7 "Professional" OS Environment (...sadly!) and I want to do a "stack-plot" of boxes using ONLY ONE x-axis for ALL which is "TIME" in the format of a series of "Dates".
ALL of the GNUPlot Code works but, each of the plots uses its own individual x-axis which consumes a lot of graphing real estate.
I also need to be able to have variable y-axis scales for each of the stacked-plots...
Here is the "labeled" (CSV) data file:
Date,Time,Weight(kg),Height(cm),BMI,BP Max.(mmHg),BP Min.(mmHg),P/min,% Fat 09/09/2015,13:16:00,77.4,171,26.5,121,73,75,22.5 16/07/2015,09:14:34,76.9,170,26.6,111,70,76,23.5 26/06/2015,18:14:48,76.9,170,26.6,123,72,78,23.2 19/06/2015,08:45:42,77,172,26,96,60,89,22.1 15/06/2015,12:29:48,77.7,170,26.9,117,73,87,23.6 15/06/2015,12:15:58,77.8,170,26.9,127,76,77,23.7 15/06/2015,12:11:05,77.7,171,26.6,118,74,83,22.8 23/03/2015,16:39:55,78.6,170,27.2,119,72,78,24 20/03/2015,09:07:30,77.6,169,27.2,138,74,77,24.1 09/01/2015,14:30:00,79.2,170,27.4,114,71,75,24.1 07/10/2014,16:06:00,78.4,171,26.8,119,73,108,24.8 07/10/2014,16:08:00,78.4,170,27.1,109,72,75,25.1 15/09/2014,08:18:23,76.9,171,26.3,116,69,102,24.8 15/09/2014,09:20:27,76.7,172,25.9,132,76,91,21 04/09/2014,12:05:00,75.6,169,26.5,115,71,96,25.4 01/04/2014,11:18:00,76.2,171,26,115,69,70,22.9 19/03/2014,09:48:23,75.3,171,25.8,113,69,55,22.1 14/03/2014,10:39:29,75.6,170,26.2,108,69,78,22.5 05/03/2014,16:45:00,75.9,170,26.3,129,73,84,23.3 09/05/2013,17:31:00,74.5,171,25.5,135,75,92,21

set xlabel "DATE"
set yrange [15.0:30.0]
set ylabel "(%)"
plot 'K8.dat' using 1:9 title "BODY\nFAT" with linespoints lw 2 lt rgb 'orange'
PS - This code is from a previous GNUPlot routine so "excuse" the '#" commenting-out...
You can use multiplot to stack several plots on top of each other. You just have to switch off the plot borders appropriately for each, see help set border, and unset the abscissa xtics for all but the lowermost plot.
set multiplot
set origin 0.1, 0.1
set size 0.9,0.3
set xrange [a:b]
plot "first"
set origin 0.1,0.4
unset xtics
set border 2 # only plot left border
plot "second"
set origin 0.1,0.7
plot "third"
unset multi
Crucial is fixing the xrange for all plots, because after switching off the xtics for the following plots, you can't see if it is actually identical.
(too long for a comment)
Ok, I get what you mean by stacked plots now. To my knowledge, having several y-axes (more than 2) above a single x axis is not possible.
What you COULD however do is try to fake more than 2 axes by plotting all data in the roughly 30...150 range on the y(1)-axis, and all data in the 15...30 range on the y2axis. However, the lines would be all kind of overlapping and not as cleanly separated.
Another alternative would be to first normalize all data into an e.g. 0...10 range by subtracting the min value and dividing by max-min, then stacking these on top of each other by adding 0 for the first line, 10 for the second, and so on. However, you would then have to add hand-made y-axis tics (which is possible but somewhat bothersome).
Actually, here is a working template for the fancier solution I outlined above (implemented for three data sets, but can be extended to basically arbitrarily many)
reset
set datafile separator ","
inputfile = 'data0.txt'
stats inputfile using 3 name 'STATS_WEIGHT'
STATS_WEIGHT_range = STATS_WEIGHT_max - STATS_WEIGHT_min
stats inputfile using 4 name 'STATS_HEIGHT'
STATS_HEIGHT_range = STATS_HEIGHT_max - STATS_HEIGHT_min
stats inputfile using 9 name 'STATS_FAT'
STATS_FAT_range = STATS_FAT_max - STATS_FAT_min
# more stats for further data -- apparently needs to be BEFORE the date/time stuff
set timefmt "%d/%m/%Y"
set xdata time
set format x "%d/%m/%Y"
set xrange [ "09/05/2013\t0000" : "09/09/2015\t0000" ] noreverse nowriteback
# define the offset at which the fake y-axes start; decrease or increase offsetIncrease for spacing (effectively: blank labels) between 'graphs'
startYTicsOffset = 0
numberOfFakeYTicsPerData = 6
scalingFactor = 1.0/(numberOfFakeYTicsPerData - 1.0)
offsetIncrease = numberOfFakeYTicsPerData + 0.5
#to get rid of actual yrange numbering, set a dummy label that will be overwritten
set ytics ("dummy" 0)
#increase total actual yrange factor as needed for additional series
set yrange [0: 3 * offsetIncrease]
#add tics for weight, note that %.Xf prints the number with X decimals
do for[i=0:numberOfFakeYTicsPerData-1]{
set ytics add (sprintf("%.0f kg", STATS_WEIGHT_min + i * scalingFactor * STATS_WEIGHT_range) startYTicsOffset+i)
}
#add tics for height
startYTicsOffset = startYTicsOffset + offsetIncrease
do for[i=0:numberOfFakeYTicsPerData-1]{
set ytics add (sprintf("%.1f cm", STATS_HEIGHT_min + i * scalingFactor * STATS_HEIGHT_range) startYTicsOffset+i)
}
#add tics for fat - I couldn't figure out how to get gnuplot to print actual '%' character in sprintf directive (should be '%%' but doesn't appear to work)
startYTicsOffset = startYTicsOffset + offsetIncrease
do for[i=0:numberOfFakeYTicsPerData-1]{
set ytics add (sprintf("%.1f percent", STATS_FAT_min + i * scalingFactor * STATS_FAT_range) startYTicsOffset+i)
}
###### ... add further tics ...
plot inputfile using 1:( 0 * offsetIncrease + ($3 - STATS_WEIGHT_min)/ (STATS_WEIGHT_range * scalingFactor) ) w lp title "weight",\
inputfile using 1:( 1 * offsetIncrease + ($4 - STATS_HEIGHT_min)/ (STATS_HEIGHT_range * scalingFactor) ) w lp title "height",\

emphasized textPlotting script that used to work for the previous version of gnuplot
(v4.2.6) no longer work for the latest version (v4.4.0) and produces
error messages for the following script line.
plot "data_file" u ($1+0.5):2 title "legend1" w boxes fs solid 0.85,
"" u ($1+0.5):2:3 notitle w yerrorbars 1,
....
The error goes away as I change "yerrorbars 1" to "yerrorbars".
However, this prohibits the customization of the errorbar style.
Can anyone tell me how can I do this right?
I'm attaching test code that causes the error and the error message.
#!/opt/local/bin/gnuplot
set term postscript monochrome enhanced

"" u ($1+1.5):4 title "test1" w boxes fs solid 0.7, \
"" u ($1+1.5):4:5 notitle w yerrorbars 1
I ran above script with the following data.
$ cat test.dat

7 5.382161114 0.002 4.818144427 0.003
and it generated the following error messages.
$ gnuplot test.plt
plot "test.dat"
....
^ "test.plt", line 17: ';' expected
As I mentioned from above, the error goes away when I change yerrorbar 1 to yerrorbar but this prevent me from specifying error bar style.
Is this what set bars 1 does?
The style of error bars depends on the linestyle which is being used for the plot. So you should specify it like this:
plot "mydata.csv" linestyle 1 with yerrorbars
linestyle 1 is what you need
nblumoe is about the specific style. You can also affect other characteristics, for instance
plot "mydata.csv" linestyle 1 linewidth 2 with yerrorbars
