I only used R to check my own calculations because I don't trust my mathematical capabilities very much. It was not my intention to create the impression that I want gnuplot to work in the same way like R does. Gnuplot does it the gnuplot way, R does it the R way. I am perfectly happy with this especially because I now know how to use gnuplot to compute histograms. If you like please use this link to download a zip file with a new script that uses you corrections and a corresponding plot. https://vesuvius.egnyte.com/dl/xN4hu4kofo This new plot shows a perfect match between the (new) gnuplot results and my EXCEL calculations. But the plot also shows different results obtained with R for bins 45 and 46. I will post another mail to the R forum asking about this (now I can use the gnuplot result to back me up). Again thanks for you help, Thomas
