The problem is self-explanatory. 
I have generated a set of Fast 
Fourier Transform values(amplitude,
phase) using a simple C language 
program, and the implementation is 
based on the steps described in 
Numerical Recipes in C. The C 
language program is compiled with 
GCC, running on a Fedora 18 machine. 
If I start gnuplot, and use use 
the command line 
plot 'testout' using 1:2 with lines; 
I get a beautiful symmetrical flower 
like pattern in the plot window NOT 
the set of symmetrical spikes 
associated with a spectrum.
I have used Gnuplot for years, with 
no complaints. I tried other commamds
as:
plot 'testout' using 1:2 pt 5 ps 7
and now I get a set of symmetrical 
little squares in the plot window,
where each square represents the 
peak of each spike, but I DO NOT 
see the spikes. So, obviously 
there must be some other commands
that I need to use, which I do not
know. May I know what these other
commands are ?
I am sure I have explained the problem
clearly. I expect  meaningful response.
