Section: User Commands (1)<BR><A HREF="#index">Index</A>
<HR>
<A NAME="lbAB"> </A>
<H2>NAME</H2>
quickplot - quick interactive 2-D plotter with zoom and value display
<A NAME="lbAC"> </A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>quickplot [OPTIONS] [X-OPTIONS] [file1 [file2] ... ]</B>
<A NAME="lbAD"> </A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<I>quickplot</I>
plots the named data files to any number of
two dimensional plots.
<P>
<B>To zoom in: </B>
While moving the pointer in the plot window,
press and hold the middle mouse button
and then release the button when the zoom box is where
you want it.
<B>To zoom back to the previous zoom level:</B>
press the middle mouse button
and pull the zoom box from inside the plot window
to one edge of the plot window and then release the button.
<B>To zoom back to the full plot of all the data:</B>
press the middle mouse button and
pull the zoom box from inside the plot window
to two edges (at a corner) of the plot window,
and then release the button.
The
left mouse button
can be pressed in the plot window to show linearly interpolated
function plot values.
The right mouse button can be pressed in the plot window to show
values at any point (including non-plot values and plot values).
<P>
The default input
file format is an ASCII file with any number of fields (values) for each
data point.
Each field must be delimited by a space, tab, comma or any combination
and/or number of these characters.
Each data point (set of values) must be separated by a new line character.
<P>
For example the data:
<P>
<DL COMPACT><DT><DD>
<PRE>
0.0 1 1e-5
<BR>
0.1 2 3.1e-5
<BR>
0.2 3 4.5e-5
<BR>
0.3 4 7.7e-5
<BR>
0.4 5 8.2e-5
</PRE>
</DL>
<P>
has 3 fields and 5 points.
<P>
If no input file is given on the command line
<I>quickplot</I>
will read data from standard input.
<P>
When one field of data in loaded by quickplot an additional field
will be generated that is a count, 0 1 2 3 4 ... and so on, of
the one loaded field.
The default plot in this case will be a function plot of the one
loaded field VS the generated count field.
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><B>-b </B>or --binary
<DD>
Input data in the binary format: The binary format is one int, that is
equal to the number of fields (values) in each data point, followed
by the data as doubles one point at a time. For example if your data file
has 3 fields the data could be represented like this: 3 x0 y0 z0
x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x3 y3 z3 x4 y4 z4 ..., if there are 5 points, that's
one int followed by 15 doubles. By default the input data format is ASCII.
<DT><B>-f </B><I>LIST</I> or --function-plot=<I>LIST</I>
<DD>
List of function plots. Example: quickplot -f "1 0 2 1"
will plot data field 1 VS 0 and 2 VS 1. The independent variable in
a function plot must always be increasing. If the options -f or --func-plot and
-p or --phase-plot are not used the default plots will be function plots
of all fields against field 0.
<DT><B>-h </B>or --help
<DD>
Display some help and then exit.
<DT><B>-l </B><I>LIST</I> or --labels=<I>LIST</I>
<DD>
Label the fields in the fields in the value window with the strings in
<I>LIST</I>.
Example: quickplot -l "time voltage current" will
label the first field as "time",
the second field as "voltage" and the third field as "current".
That is assuming that the label separator is a space. Use option -L
to change the label separator character from the default of space.
<DT><B>-n </B>or --no-lines
<DD>
Plot without lines and show just the points.
<DT><B>-p </B><I>LIST</I> or --phase-plot=<I>LIST</I>
<DD>
List of phase plots. Example: quickplot -p "1 0 2 1"
will plot data field 1 VS 0 and 2 VS 1. The independent variable in
a phase plot doesn't have to be always increasing.
<DT><B>-s </B>or --same-scale
<DD>
Plot all plots on the same scale.
<DT><B>-v </B>or --verbose
<DD>
Print more information to standard error.
<DT><B>-B </B>or --black-and-white
<DD>
Display the plots in black and white.
<DT><B>-L </B><I>CHAR</I> or --label-separator=<I>CHAR</I>
<DD>
Change the label separator to the character <I>CHAR</I>. See option -l.
<DT><B>-P </B>or --pipe
<DD>
Read data in from standard input. If no
<I>datafilename</I>
is given this will be the default.
This option will force
<I>quickplot</I>
to wait for data from standard input indefinitely.
By default
<I>quickplot</I>
looks for standard input but if a
<I>datafilename</I>
is given it stops looking
for data from standard input in some short amount of time.
<DT><B>-R </B>or --read-labels
<DD>
Read in the labels from the files from first line that is not skipped.
This will only work for ascii input files. Option -l will override
this option. If this option is given along with option -l
the labels will not be read from the files, but one additional line
will be skipped in reading the data from the files.
<DT><B>-S </B><I>NUM</I> or --skip-lines=<I>NUM</I>
<DD>
Skip the first
<I>NUM</I>
lines from all input. If the -b or --binary option is given the first
<I>NUM</I>
data points will be skipped.
<DT><B>-V </B>or --version
<DD>
Print version number, compile date, who compiled this quickplot and
some license information to standard output.
If you want just the version number try for example:
<B> quickplot --version | awk '/version: / {print $2}'</B>
<DT><B>-X </B>or --no-pixmap
<DD>
Don't load a piXmap of the first view of the plot. By default
<I>quickplot</I>
loads the first zoom level display into a X pixmap, so that it can draw it
faster in all forthcomming redraws of the first zoom level.
<P>
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
<H2>X-OPTIONS</H2>
<P>
<I>quickplot</I> can be started with the following X options:
<P>

<DT><B>-bg </B><I>color</I> or -background <I>color</I>
<DD>
Set application background color to <I>color</I>.
