3.24.69 timestamp
The command timestamp places the time and date of the plot in the left margin.
Syntax:
set timestamp {"<format>"} {top|bottom} {{no}rotate} {offset <xoff>{,<yoff>}} {font "<fontspec>"} unset timestamp show timestamp |
The format string allows you to choose the format used to write the date and time. Its default value is what asctime() uses: "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y" (weekday, month name, day of the month, hours, minutes, seconds, four-digit year). With ‘top‘ or ‘bottom‘ you can place the timestamp at the top or bottom of the left margin (default: bottom). ‘rotate‘ lets you write the timestamp vertically, if your terminal supports vertical text. The constants <xoff> and <yoff> are offsets that let you adjust the position more finely. <font> is used to specify the font with which the time is to be written.
The abbreviation ‘time‘ may be used in place of timestamp.
Example:
set timestamp "%d/%m/%y %H:%M" offset 80,-2 font "Helvetica" |
