gnuplot 4.6 |

In either case the option limits the lled area to one side of the bounding line or curve.
Note: Not all terminal types support this plotting mode.
Zooming a lled curve drawn from a data le may produce empty or incorrect areas because gnuplot is clipping points and lines, and not areas.
If the values of <a>, <x>, <y> are out of the drawing boundary, then they are moved to the graph boundary. Then the actually lled area in the case of option xy=<x>,<y> will depend on xrange and yrange.
Financebars
The nancebars style is only relevant for 2D data plotting of nancial data. It requires 1 x coordinate (usually a date) and 4 y values (prices).
5 columns: date open low high close
An additional (6th) input column may be used to provide variable (per-record) color information (see linecolor (p. 34) and rgbcolor variable (p. 35)).
The symbol is a vertical line segment, located horizontally at the x coordinate and limited vertically by the high and low prices. A horizontal tic on the left marks the opening price and one on the right marks the closing price. The length of these tics may be changed by set bars. The symbol will be unchanged if the high and low prices are interchanged. See set bars (p. 99) and candlesticks (p. 45), and also the
finance demo.

Fsteps
The fsteps style is only relevant to 2D plotting. It connects consecutive points with two line segments: the rst from (x1,y1) to (x1,y2) and the second from (x1,y2) to (x2,y2). The input column requires are the same as for plot styles lines and points. The di erence between fsteps and steps is that fsteps traces rst the change in y and then the change in x. steps traces rst the change in x and then the change in y.
See also
steps demo.

Fillsteps
The llsteps style is exactly like steps except that the area between the curve and y=0 is lled in the current ll style. See steps (p. 56).
