The arrayref that needs to be passed to the plot() method is quite complex. It needs a reference to an array of array references (if you can get your head around that!). The first arrayref in @array contains the values for x that you want to plot y-values for. Each additional arrayref contains the y-values for one line. Like this:
open (FH, "<data.txt"); while (<FH>) { chomp ($_); ($x, $y) = split (/\s+/, $_) unless /RT/; push @xes, $x; push @ys, $y; } my $mygraph = GD::Graph::lines->new(600, 300); $mygraph->set( x_label => 'RT', y_label => 'HEIGHT', title => 'xxx' ); $image = $mygraph->plot( [ \@xes, \@ys ] ) or die $mygraph->error; open(IMG, '>file2.png') or die $!; binmode IMG; print IMG $image->png; close IMG;
