When I use gnuplot v.4.6.3 (Win7) to plot multiple data sets separated by double blank lines via pl 'Data.out' i 0:300:5 u ($1):($2):(column(-2)) t 'profiles' w l lc variable lw 2 I get a chart with a suboptimal sequence of colors (for example, blue, yellow and green) for subsequent data sets. How to assign specific colors, such as 'black', 'red' or 'blue' to various data sets? Also, how to assign different labels for the various colors? Thanks for any help.

It works perfectly--although, in spite of reading the help files, I have a bit of a problem understanding exactly why... ;-) I assume that you set Offset=100 to be outside the probable max number of data sets? This color stuff gets really convoluted for a nonprogrammer, a price certainly worth paying for the flexibility.

Number of data sets is not a problem. I picked 100 as being large enough so that it probably wouldn't overwrite any previous definitions of linetypes 1, 2, 3, ... used to determine the sequence of colors used for plotting. Ethan
