This is easy :
awk '{print $2}' carma.dPCA.fluctuations.dat | plot -h awk '{print $3}' carma.dPCA.fluctuations.dat | plot -h awk '{print $4}' carma.dPCA.fluctuations.dat | plot -h awk '{print $5}' carma.dPCA.fluctuations.dat | plot -h awk '{print $6}' carma.dPCA.fluctuations.dat | plot -h ...
giving something like
which could possibly be interpreted as a sufficiency of the top five (or, max, six) eigenvectors to describe the system's structural transitions.
