[Graph-dev] Chart::Graph::Gnuplot help

[gab.seun jones.ewulomi]

My apologies on the trivial question but I am quite desperate.
I have installed Chart::Graph::Gnuplot and dont have a clue how to use
it.

I am collecting time series data on our routers in the format 
below(ascii/text
file). I have als attached a  file for the time series data due to
formatting.

col-1 - Sample Time
col-2 -  "Delta Time"
col-3 -  "Bandwidth Utilization In %"
col-4 -  "Bandwidth Utilization Out %"
col-5 -  "Bytes/sec Util"
col-6 -  "Bytes In" "/sec"
col-7 -  "Bytes Out" "/sec"
col-8 - latency
***********************************

My main aim is to graph the outputs of certain columns and to have the
graph in png format.

1)How would I use the Chart::Graph::Gnuplot to plot e.g col-1, col-3,
col-4 and have the graph in png format.

My apologies if this sounds trivial but can anyone help show be a 
step-by-step
guid on how to do this

My environment

linux redhat 7.3, 2.4.20 kernel
gnuplot 3.7
Chart-Graph-2.0.tar.gz

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated

Regards,
Seun
