Ruby / Gnuplot / GnuplotRB中的时间轴格式

Question

最后几个小时拉我的头发。使用GnuplotRB。试图绘制一些时间序列，以及我尝试使用的任何格式和xrange选项，X轴始终显示1990到2035（这来自哪里？）

以下示例具有类似数据

require 'gnuplotrb'
include GnuplotRB

x = ["2013-05-22 02:49:49",    "2013-05-22 02:56:49", "2013-05-22 02:56:59"]
y = [ 2,5,9]

p x.first
p x.last

element = Dataset.new(
  [x, y], 
  with:'lines lw 3 lt rgb "black"', 
  timefmt: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
  xdata: 'time',
  format_x:  "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
#  xrange: '[ "#{x.first}":"#{x.last}" ]'
  xrange: '[ "2013-05-22 02:49:00" : "2013-05-22 02:50:00" ]'
  )

myBRTraces = Plot.new(
  element
   )

p myBRTraces.inspect
myBRTraces.to_png("/media/sf_D_DRIVE/Test/a.svg", size: [1200, 1800], truecolor:true)

[编辑] - 进一步简化代码。

我还做了this tweak实际上从gnuplot获取一些错误记录。我帮助确实指出xrange是一个b ***，但我仍然不知道如何让它工作：

$  ruby test.rb 
"2013-05-22 02:49:49"

我没有得到“警告：空x范围[2013：2013]”

Answer 1

从documentation，似乎需要将特定于情节的设置传递给Plot.new调用：

Plot的选项在gnuplot doc（第105-181页）中有解释。绘图选项以与数据集相同的方式转换为gnuplot格式（除了在每个选项之前添加'set'）。

从而：

element = Dataset.new(
  [x, y],
  with: 'lines lw 3 lt rgb "black"',
  using: '1:2'
)

myBRTraces = Plot.new(
  element,
  timefmt: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
  xdata: 'time',
  format_x:  "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
  xrange: '[ "2013-05-22 02:49:00" : "2013-05-22 02:50:00" ]',
  yrange: '[0:10]'
)

否则，gnuplotrb会尝试在单个Dataset.new命令中汇集传递给plot的所有选项（如您发布的错误消息中所示），然后失败：

plot $DATA1 with lines lw 3 lt rgb "black" timefmt "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" xdata time format x "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" xrange [ "2013-05-22 02:49:00" : "2013-05-22 02:50:00" ];
