GNUPLOT remove overlapping between xtick labels

  • 772

In GnuPlot, i am setting xtics to something like this:

set xtics
("AIM" 0.00000, "gtalk" 2.00000, "rtp-multicast-filetransfer" 4.00000, "sipc_music" 6.00000, "skype1" 8.00000, "skype2" 10.00000, "voip-extension" 12.00000, "voip-extension2downata" 14.00000, "ymessenger" 16.00000)

The problem is, that these labels overlap with each other in the plot, so how can i remove/overcome this overlapping?

Can I increase the length between xticks or write some kind of legend showing:
rmf : rtp-multicast-filetransfer ?

  1. This might not be the solution you want, but you can rotate labels with:

    set xtics rotate by -45

    This would rotate tick labels at the x-axis by -45°.
