When I use normal lines, or even "steps", the lines with less data stop (this is exactly what I want). When I plot with histeps, the lines with less data drop to zero after the final value. Here is an example: https://img42.com/5VYEa. I would have expected the red line to stop at the end of the maximum value like it does with "steps". I noticed that even the published samples of how to use histeps exhibits the same behaviour: http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/steps.html Is there a reason why histeps drops a line down to zero at the end even though "steps" does not?
