Hello,
I am using gnuplot plotting and what is the character string for missing data.
In other words if I have data set with missing dependent values, what can I
use a placeholder?

x y1 y2 y3 y4 y5
1 10 5 3 20 30
2 9 4 2 50 50
3 8 2 what goes here 80 64
4 3 1 1 100 75
5 2 -5 -10 200 81

thanks,
John Siket

Anything that cannot be taken for a number, nor contains any whitespace. A
rather common choice is the question mark.

Also see "help set missing" and "help using" for some details.
