Dear Johann,

Unfortunately the gnuplot output of MadAnalysis is not very well developed and there is indeed quite a bit of manual labor in getting all the plots in an input that can actually be properly read by gnuplot.
Currently, work is put into writing a new, more advanced version of MadAnalysis which should become public in a couple of months. Therefore, no more features/improvements are being made to the current version.

Kind regards,
Rikkert
