Basic Gnuplot Interface Form

Gnuplot Basic Interface

Instructions:

1. Specify your Plot Source and Plot Type in the Data Entry Area. The easiest way to enter your own data is to "cut and paste" it into one of the three Data Areas. Functions should be entered as f(x) or f(x,y). Be sure to verify that the Data Format, Plot Source, and Plot Type are all properly matched.
2. Make desired changes in the Plot Options portion of the form.
3. Click on one of the two "Send Request" buttons and wait for the server to return your custom plot in GIF format. Note that complex images will take longer to process.

A Help Page and a Troubleshooting Page are available to assist you. In addition, a 2-D Dynamic Interface and a 3-D Dynamic Interface may make it easier for you to define the default plot options.

For content specific help select one of the red help buttons on the form

. Example data files and Gnuplot demo files are located in the /gnuplot/WAVES/data/ directory which can also be accessed by selecting one of the blue buttons
