Representation of several values as time goes by (temporal values)
You may think that LibreOffice can do it (it may) but at the time
- there was no package for LibreOffice
- my tests were not conclusive for an X temporal axis (well, only values were displayed but their value according to time not taken into account, particularly as my measures are not taken regularly)
- then I found that gnuplot had a timefmt option to take into account the value for an axis, which corresponds to my requirement :
Using gnuplot with timefmt
So it works correctly:- set timefmt "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"

Promoting identi.ca as a libre service
well, this kind of graphic is infuriating as proprietary services should be on the same scale:
- well no problem, just switch x1y2 to proprietary
- it corresponds to reading left to right:
- left Y is 300 (hmm 180...)
- right is 3000
- identi.ca compared to facebook and above, fine :)
- twitter compared to facebook, fine among proprietary services, far below representativity of libre services :-)
- I still do not understand the reason why the y2 scale seems to have 2 measures (perhaps because I have 2 sets of data on this axis)
- Maybe find a way to add "events" (as comments) to the drawing, ideally it should be tied to data and with some image, well a "note" would do it. For example:
- alpha1
- beta1
- Mageia 1 release
