I am using Gnuplot for post processing the results of my CFD code. When drawing graphs, with setkey, the legend is appearing with the file name in codes. I want to change the name of the curve in the legend. Also I want to give the a symbol of my own choice. I request your help in this regard

You can find all the help you need by typing 'help topic_name' at the Gnuplot prompt.

To change the name of the curve in the legend you can use:

The command "title 'title_name'" inside the plot line

For example:

plot 'data_file' using 1:2 title 'my curve'
