Hi Dr. Boccone,

I applied the method you mentioned above, but then I received an error as
follows.

set terminal wxt 0 enhanced raise title 'PMMA PET.flair-0: USRBIN PMMA PET

 set title 'USRBIN PMMA PET 21'

plot 'PMMA PET_21_plot.dat' us 1:3 w steps notitle

 Gnuplot error

I run the sample https://indico.cern.ch/event/296741/timetable/#20140516
<https://indico.cern.ch/event/296741/timetable/#20140516>
I received an error again.
