To be honest I also got the actual data and photo of the plot. I got the following files: png, eps, gp, csv. So I need more than one file to open the plot in Gnuplot?! > Have a look into the .gp file via your favored Editor. The gnuplot code is nearly plain English, so you can see which files you need and what gnuplot will be done. Then first start gnuplot and load the "gnuplot-code" via load 'your-code-file-name' If there are errors you can see them in the gnuplot console. Jörg
