cat FAOSTAT_data*.csv | cut -d ',' -f 9,12 | tr ',' ' ' > population.txt
gnuplot script / commands :
set term svg size 800,500 dynamic font "sans-serif" set autoscale xfix set grid set style data linespoints set pointsize 0.6 unset key set ylabel "Population, billions" #set xtics add (2018) # Added for clarity, may be omitted if necessary. plot "population.txt" using 1:($2/1e6) linetype rgb "#A30000" pt 5
