I am trying to create multiple columnstacked histograms in gnuplot using the newhistogram command. The data share the same structure so I want the boxes to share the same key like in this question, but with a pattern fillstyle (not only color).
My script looks like this:
set style data histogram
set style histogram columnstacked
set style fill pattern
set boxwidth 0.75
set xtics ("fff" 0, "ggg" 1, "hhh" 3, "iii" 4)
set grid y
set border 3 # remove top and right plot-border
set key outside title 'key' width -30
plot \
newhistogram "data A" fs pattern 2 lt 1, \
"plot_test_data.out" u 2, '' u 3, \
newhistogram "data B" fs pattern 2 lt 1, \
"plot_test_data_2.out" u 2:key(1), '' u 3
which produces the following output:
Could anybody explain why the key doesn't show the correct pattern? (I tried adding fs pattern in each using directive and removing the linetype, but nothing bears the desired output).
I am using
