Hello. I will try to explain my problem. I'm new with gnuplot and also my english is not the best.
Ok i have a .csv file with time and temperature. The values are like this:
18:25:46 , 25.4
I take a value each 5 minutes (not exactly, it changes a few seconds). 
Iam trying to take a graph loading a script, i think is the best way for my project.
The problem is that the graph's points are not distributed as they should. I mean if i have 10 values in the 18 p.m.
(for example:
18:01:45 , 25
18:06:58 , 25.1
18:11:42 , 25.2
18:16:46 , 25.1)
gnuplot does not put them in the intermediate places. It plots all the values in the 18:00:00 column. Just as it takes only the hour parameter.
I have tried some solutions.
set xdata time → It gives me a lot of problems saying that the requires more spec.
set timefmt "%H:%M:%S" → makes the same only in the integer hours
Can anybody help me a little...
Thank you very much.
