Origin=

When gnuplot generates coordinates based upon transposition and flip, it attempts to always position the lower left point in the array at the origin, i.e., the data lies in the first quadrant of a Cartesian system after transpose and flip.

To position the array somewhere else on the graph, the origin keyword directs gnuplot to position the lower left point of the array at a point specified by a tuple. The tuple should be a double for plot and a triple for splot. For example, origin=(100,100):(100,200) is for two records in the file and intended for plotting in two dimensions. A second example, origin=(0,0,3.5), is for plotting in three dimensions.
