DESCRIPTION¶
kst is a graphical data plotting tool, which includes the ability to plot live data (contiuously update the plot as new data becomes available).OPTIONS¶
- -A
- plot all curves in separate plots
- -a
- average frames (simple mean) when plotting with -s.
- --A4
- use A4 sized paper for printing. Requires --print.
- -b
- plot as bargraphs.
- -d
- use points when plotting curves.
- -e FIELD
- use FIELD as the magnitude of error bars applied to the next plot.
- -F datasource
- override the datasource indicated in the kstfile and instead use datasource.
- -f STARTFRAME
- begin plotting at STARTFRAME frames into the data. Set to -1 to start at NUMFRAMES from the end of the data.
- -h FIELD
- plot FIELD as a histogram.
- -l
- use lines when plotting curves.
- --landscape
- use landscape orientation for printing. Requires --print. --Letter use US Letter sized paper for printing. Requires --print.
- -n NUMFRAMES
- plot at most NUMFRAMES frames of data. Set to -1 to indicate all of the data.
- -P PLOTNAME
- plot all plots in the plot named PLOTNAME.
- -p FIELD
- plot FIELD as a power spectrum plot.
- --png filename
- render to a portable network graphics (png) image with file name filename and quit.
- --portrait
- use portrait orientation for printing. Requires --print.
- --print filename
- print the plot to file filename and quit.
- -s FRAMESPERSAMPLE
- plot every FRAMESPERSAMPLE frames when plotting.
- -x FIELD
- use FIELD as the X-axis vector.
- -y FIELD
- plot FIELD as an XY plot.
- -z FIELD
- plot FIELD as an image.
EXAMPLES¶
Plot all data in column 2 from data.dat.kst data.dat -y 2
kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 2
kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 1 -y 2
kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 2 data2.dat -y 1
kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 2 data2.dat -f 30 -n 40 -y 1
kst data.dat -x 1 -e 3 -y 2
kst data1.dat -x 1 data2.dat -y 1
kst data.dat -P P1 -y 2 -y 3 -P P2 -y 4
BUGS¶
