Currently teh data is like this

   20050723 5470 1     or    20050723 5470 0

Column three is under my control. It may contain anything like

   20050723 5470 true  or    20050723 5470 false
   20050723 5470 red   or    20050723 5470 green
   20050723 5470 1     or    20050723 5470 2

i.e., I can adjust it if gnuplot has some demands on the specific data.

Could you please be more concrete; how would that look like?
