title: plot single column binary file with gnuplot
body: <p>how can I plot single column binary file with gnuplot?</p>
  
  <p>This is the gnuplot command I am using:</p>
  
  <p><code>plot "file.bin" binary format="%float" u ($0+1):1 every ::0::999</code></p>
  
  <p>but I get all the points along the vertical line <code>x = 0</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am creatiing the binary file in a C code I have:</p>
  
  <p><code>write(fdesc, bin_data, tot_size * sizeof(double));</code></p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
