and a need a simple histogram to compare each IP.
I tried with
feedgnuplot --histo 0 --binwidth 0.1 --hardcopy /api/tst.pn

and get the wrong image

Instead, I should get something similar to
image
but of course showing the labels under each column
what am I doing wrong?

Ah, I see what you're trying to do. This is not a "histogram", but a bar chart. You can do it in feedgnuplot, but currently there's no nice support for tic labels that come from a data file, which is what you're trying to do. Let me see if I can add something this week. Leaving this issue open in the meantime.

I just added some initial support for this. Will write the documentation and do a release in a week or two, but in the meantime, you can use it if you check out the latest version of the script from git. With your data in /tmp/dat:

< /tmp/dat \
tail -n +2 | \
feedgnuplot \
  --xticlabels \
  --with 'boxes fill solid border lt -1'

tst

This is done, and demoed in the guide: https://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot/blob/master/guide/guide.org

I'm closing the issue. Please re-open if something doesn't work.
