Time/date and gplot

[Pruitt Dave W Contr AEDC/SVT]

I've gotten stuck trying to use dates for the x-axis in gplot.  I have day,
month, and year stored as integers in vectors.  However, when I combine
these vectors and the (real) data into a matrix for plotting, all the
numbers become real.  The data appear as follows (day month year data):

1.0000 5.0000 1995.0000 0.5432

I think this is a problem for gplot.

Note that I set timefmt "%d %m %Y" and set xdata time.  Also, I'm not sure
what the proper 'using' statement would be.  I tried

gplot plotdata using 1:2:3:4   and

gplot plotdata using 1:4

Gplot reports that I must use a complete 'using' statement in both cases.

Your help would be appreciated.
