This could be due to a number of things, related to the gnuplot version and/or the language setting (the issue of the decimal separator -- though I thought I had that fixed!). I'm having difficulty replicating the problem here. If you have time, could you give me some more details (gnuplot version, and details of the graph would be useful: you said it was a residual plot, but it might be helpful to know from what regression). Thanks. Allin.
