Gnuplot 4.6.5
I wanted to plot a bar graph.
I tried the demo here: http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/histograms.2.gnu with a separate date file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45318932/immigration.dat . And it worked:
However, when I tried to put a separate data file as embedded data in a script file:
set boxwidth 0.9 absolute
set style fill solid 1.00 border lt -1
set key inside right top vertical Right noreverse noenhanced autotitles nobox
set style histogram clustered gap 1 title offset character 0, 0, 0
set datafile missing '-'
set style data histograms
set xtics border in scale 0,0 nomirror rotate by -45 offset character 0, 0, 0 autojustify
set xtics norangelimit font ",8"
set xtics ()
set title "US immigration from Northern Europe\nPlot selected data columns as histogram of clustered boxes"
set yrange [ 0.00000 : 300000. ] noreverse nowriteback
i = 22
plot '-' using 6:xtic(1) ti col, '' u 12 ti col, '' u 13 ti col, '' u 14 ti col

Here is a modified script: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45318932/histograms.plt
Now it works correctly, only showing the result for Denmark:
The Gnuplot terminal has three lines of identical warnings:
"C:\Documents and Settings\leoking\My Documents\temp\histograms.plt", line 27: warning: Skipping data file with no valid points
It is very important to be able to use the embedded data for me. Help would be greatly appreciated.
