Aloha Michael,

Does the :session header argument help?

All the best,
Tom

The solution is to reset all the settings:

#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=foo :file img/foo.png
reset
set terminal png
set xlabel foo
...
plot data using 1:2 with boxes title ''
#+end_src

With two code blocks, use :session foo for one and :session bar for the
other.  Does your problem persist?

All the best,

The documentation in ob-doc-gnuplot doesn't mention sessions.  I think
it would be well to note the current behavior.

I see in ob-gnuplot that "The current `gnuplot-mode' doesn't provide
support for multiple sessions" which presumably cripples the behavior of
the :session header argument.

Can an ob-gnuplot user summarize the behavior of :session with gnuplot
source blocks?

All the best,
Tom

If I understand the problem correctly, you need to put reset as the
first argument:

#+begin_src gnuplot :var data2015=days_cycling[2:-5] :var data2014=days_cycling[3:-4] :var data2013=days_cycling[4:-4,] :var data2012=days_cycling[5:-4,]  :file ../images/number_of_days_cycling.png
  reset
  set title 'Number of Days Cycling Each Month.'
  #  set ylabel 'Days' set xlabel 'Speed Mbps' lw2
  set style data histogram
  set style histogram cluster gap 1
  set style fill solid border -1
  set boxwidth 0.9

  set xlabel 'Month'
  set ylabel 'Days'
  plot data2015 u 5:xticlabels(1) title "2015", data2014 u 4:xticlabels(1) title "2014", data2014 u 3:xticlabels(1) title "2013", data2014 u 2:xticlabels(1) title "2012"

#+end_src

I have holes in my foor from using that particular gun.
