I'm trying to make a plot of wind speed and wind gusts. The data for wind gusts is not continuous. If I use datafile missing on the wind gust data by itself, things work as expectedly, but if I try to plot gusts along with wind speed, gusts data are shown for times where there is no data. The plot omits gusts data at the beginning and end, but in the middle line segments are drawn where they should not. For example

set datafile missing NaN
set grid
set time
set xdata time
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S"
unset timestamp
plot '-' u 1:2 t 'Wind' w lines lt rgb "blue", '-' u 1:3 t 'Gust' w lines

The data is normally read from a temporary file, with additional formatting applied. A full example is

This is generated real time, so sometimes there isn't any wind gust data, or there are gusts over the whole time period.
