Examples

These examples are all based on data in the examples folder.

Example 1

$ cat data.txt

Example that plots four random lines

Use ploctli < data.txt to produce a plotcli.png file

It is possible to define the data format directly from the command line
as well using: plotcli -d ly,ly,ly,ly < data.txt

The l signifies that we are plotting lines. Since no x is specified the line
number is basically used as x variable

Example 2

Same data, but now as part of histograms in different plots:

$ cat data.txt
#plotcli -d ha,hb,hc,hd
h signifies a histogram. The letters behind it are figures IDs.
The four different letters here result in four different figures.

Example 3

Histogram of 2 sets of data and their correlation.

The data file can be found in the examples directory for plotd.

Example 4

With the id and pn data format options it is also possible to specify data ids/plot names on each row. For example if you have data that looks like this:

experiment1,subexperiment1,type1,0,0.9
experiment1,subexperiment1,type2,0,2.1
experiment1,subexperiment1,type1,1,1.1
experiment1,subexperiment1,type2,1,0
experiment2,subexperiment1,type1,0,0.7
experiment2,subexperiment1,type1,1,1.1
experiment2,subexperiment2,type1,0,9
experiment2,subexperiment2,type1,1,8.1

You can plot it using:

plotcli -d pn,pn,id,x,y < dataFile

and it will create separate image files for each experiment/subexperiment combination and use different colors for each type.
