Suppose I have a data file that consists of multiple blocks like the following:

```
0 0
1 1
2 2

3 3
4 4
5 5

```

Now let us plot this file:

```
plot "data.dat" w lines

```

The output is two lines, *with a gap* from `x = 2` to `x = 3`. However, if you remove the `\n` in the data file, effectively forming one block, the same command will produce a continuous plot. In a sense, when there are data blocks, gnuplot reads and interprets them separately, leading to independent plots. 

**Question:** Is there a way to keep a file's many data blocks and yet have gnuplot read all the blocks in one coherent way, just as if the file was one single data block? 

*Clarification:* What I refer to as "data blocks" are the `STATS_blank` in gnuplot.
