If the samples represent less seasons than what can be filled in the xrange, there will be holes in the background. Fix calculating the number of samples/seasons. --- diff --git a/full_range_seasonal.gnuplot b/full_range_seasonal.gnuplot index cfeb338..f92cf07 100755 --- a/full_range_seasonal.gnuplot +++ b/full_range_seasonal.gnuplot @@ -70,6 +70,12 @@ first_month_of_season(x) = ((int(x) * 3) + 11) % 12 # Winter starts the previous year if the months are January (0) of February (1) start_of_season(x) = strptime("%Y-%m-%d", "" .
