Yes and no. The data is the same, and I tried to modify it but was
getting things wrong. The plotshare url that is there works.

But I changed it to the above with the dates and it works, but the dates
don't get formated like I would like. Also our games are on Tues and
Fridays of every week except on tournaments and scrimmages, I wanted to
change the code to represent that, and no matter how much I try I get
tics at two or three spaces using part of the examples, ie.,
set xtics format "%b %d"
set xtics "20110105", 259200, "20110430"
259200 for 3 days difference
172800 for 2 days tics apart and so on.
I add this to the script and I get different results, If I include tics
at 1 unit apart, then thing get messy. I want to look at a nice graph.
The one at url
http://plotshare.com/index.ws/plot/338384601
I got it to work on my desktop, but I do not know enough of gnuplot for
it to just plot on top of quadrant 1 and not go below. Here's the code.

I would like to change the numbers 1 to 20150103 display it along with
the opponent, but things get messy so my best guess would be to just
format it manually instead of experimenting things out. If anyone can
help me fix/adjust the code so that It just prints the bar graphs of
opponents goals vs our goals and not go below to quadrant 3 please let me
know.
Best Regards,
Antonio
I replied to Marco and thought that I automagically replied to the list. I got it to work
by manually changing the data with the dates:
2015gfga.dat
--------------------------------
Test Opponents Grulla Opponents
2015/01/03-Edinburg-Vela 0 10
2015/01/06-Zapata 1 0
2015/01/13-Lyford 2 0
2015/01/16-Roma 0 0
2015/01/20-Mercedes 0 3
2015/01/23-Laredo-Nixon 1 2
2015/02/03-Zapata 8 1
2015/02/10-Hidalgo 1 9
2015/02/13-Raymondville 3 1
2015/02/17-Monte-Alto 1 0
2015/02/20-Zapata 0 0
2015/02/26-Hidalgo 0 4
2015/03/06-Raymondville 2 2
2015/03/17-Monte-Alto 6 1
2015/03/26-Port-Isabel 3 0
2015/04/03-Rockport-Fulton 0 7
then modified 2015gfga.plt and added a range
set yrange [0:10]
will fix the graph to what I would like
[olivares@localhost tmp]$ cat 2015gfga.plt

'2015gfga.dat' using 2:3:xtic(1) title col lc rgb '#f6e8c3'
I had in the last line
plot 'ExtData1' using 3:2:xtic(1) title col lc rgb '#084594', ''
using 2:3:xtic(1) title col lc rgb '#f6e8c3'
and gnuplot was reporting an error. I modified it to above and removed ExtData1 reference
and it worked.
I tried to set the xtics manually and change them according to Marco's reference, but
the graph did not refect all the games so I modified the data file and added the date and
the opponent and then modified the range to prohibit the line going below and keep
everything in quadrant I. If anyone has a nicer way to make the graph look better, or
format it using something else please help. I would like for our athletes to see what we
need to work on the Goal Differential and not allow too many goals against us.

Antonio
