To plot a specific graph type in Gnuplot via gnuplotxyz, you must provide the required arguments and follow the correct syntax for that plot style. Each graph type may require a different number of parameter dimensions and specific plotting options. Detailed, documented examples are available on this wiki to guide you through the process for each graph type.
