I have a data file like this: 1 88 #FF0000 2 65 #00FF00 3 92 #0000FF ... and I tried the following: plot 'boxes.dat' u 1:2:3 w boxes lc rgbcolor variable "boxes.gp", line 7: warning: Skipping data file with no valid points The same happens when I try to give the style an expected third column as box width info: plot 'boxes.dat' u 1:2:(0.8):3 w boxes lc rgbcolor variable The gnuplot manual 4.6 says that "with boxes" is compatible with rgbcolor variable, but there is no example how to do it. Any hints? Ingo
