"Gnuplot in Action" by Philipp K. Janert
www.manning.com/janert/

Gnuplot is probably the most popular open-source tool for data graphing and visualization. "Gnuplot in Action" is the first comprehensive introduction to gnuplot - from the basics to the power features and beyond. Particular emphasis is placed on those aspects of gnuplot, which are tricky or traditionally poorly-explained.

Besides providing a tutorial on gnuplot itself, the book includes an introduction to graphical analysis - methods to extract information from data using purely graphical approaches. This book looks at different types of graphs that can be generated with gnuplot and will discuss when and how to use them to extract actual knowledge from data.
