For time data, the documentation refers to "set xtics timedata", whereas the actual command is "set xtics timedate". You can try this within gnuplot: gnuplot> help set xtics timedate Sorry, no help for 'set xtics timedate' Conversely, "help set xtics timedata" works, and then produces documentation for "set xtics timedate". I believe the website documentation contains the same mismatch, but I cannot check this at the moment since it is not accessible.
