### Gprintf

The string function gprintf(`"`format`"`,x) uses gnuplot's own format specifiers, as do the gnuplot commands set format, set timestamp, and others. These format specifiers are not the same as those used by the standard C-language routine sprintf(). gprintf() accepts only a single variable to be formatted. Gnuplot also provides an sprintf(`"`format`"`,x1,x2,...) routine if you prefer. For a list of gnuplot's format options, see format specifiers (p. ).
