The plot, splot, set and unset commands may optionally contain an iteration for clause. This has the effect of executing the basic command multiple times, each time re-evaluating any expressions that make use of the iteration control variable. Iteration of arbitrary command sequences can be requested using the do command. Two forms of iteration clause are currently supported:

     for [intvar = start:end{:increment}]
     for [stringvar in "A B C D"]

Examples:

     plot for [filename in "A.dat B.dat C.dat"] filename using 1:2 with lines
     plot for [basename in "A B C"] basename.".dat" using 1:2 with lines
     set for [i = 1:10] style line i lc rgb "blue"
     unset for [tag = 100:200] label tag

Nested iteration is supported:

     set for [i=1:9] for [j=1:9] label i*10+j sprintf("%d",i*10+j) at i,j
