#1834 — two sets of shaded bars

Hi all,

I'm trying to generate a plot with 2 sets of bars, using filledcurves. The script below ALMOST does what I want, except that 2 bars don't show up (I've marked them with comments). Each set plots fine individually. 

This is actually generated via gretl, using version 4.6 of gnuplot on Windows 7.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

PS

I suspect it's because your dates have somehow acquired internal
colons rather than decimal points.  The produces intervals with zero width.

Thanks Ethan,

I'm at home now and can't check this, but I did experiment with expanding the date range on the missing bars. Didn't mess with the colon separator, and as I recall once it got to a year, it showed up. 

I'll check this on Monday.

PS

You're right -- it was the colons. It works great now!

Thanks again,

PS
