plot - gnuplot: plotting from a binary file containing single column -

i have binary file - 1 column, 20 values.

the first 10 - x coordinate

the following 10 - corresponding y coordinates.

is possible plot x-y plot using gnuplot without preprocessing ? if not, how can preprocess binary file (not converting normal text file) plotting in gnuplot ?

as far can see, not possible gnuplot, although offers massive options binary files. 1 possibility plot file following python script (provided, numbers stored integer), otherwise must adapt it:

import sys import numpy np np.savetxt(sys.stdout, np.fromfile(sys.argv[1], dtype='i4').reshape(2,10).transpose()) 

and plot

plot '< python script.py data.bin' 

if plan work more binary data files, suggest use hdf5 file format.
