I am just writing the function for this but I've got a problem with the
quotation marks.
This:
printf "set timefmt \"%Y%m\" \n"
results in
<output>
*** error in function plot_ts_y2axis, line 42
> printf "set timefmt \"%Y%m\" \n"
</output>
printf takes '%' as starting a conversion specifier. If you want a
literal '%' in the output, as you do here, you need to double it:
printf "set timefmt \"%%Y%%m\"\n"
