Dear all,
I'm just curious of what you would use to draw figures. By draw
figures, I mean that, suppose I have a data file, it goes like,
x1 x2 x3 ... xn y
1.2 -3.4 0.1 7.8 3.2
.. ...
what program do you use on FC to draw curves for (y vs x1) and/or(y vs
x2)...(y vs xn) on a single figure?
I usually reboot my machine to WinXP and use Excel to do that because
the Open office spreadsheet is not friendly regarding this purpose.
(Or I don't know how to use it wisely.) But the rebooting is very
inconvenient sometime. A program on FC is highly desired.
Best,
Cao

use gnuplot.
lets say your data is saved in myfile.dat
in gnuplot type
plot 'myfile.dat' using 1:2, 'myfile.dat' using 1:3
where 1:2 mean plot column 2 vs column 1 etc, you can do "help plot" on
the gnuplot command to learn about other options as well.
