PROGRAM:
NAME
muplot - plot a multi-curve figure from multiple data by using Gnuplot
SYNOPSIS
muplot [OPTION]... [STYLE] [FILE] [AXES] [FILE] [AXES] ...
DESCRIPTION
Muplot is a simple, non-interactive gnuplot-wrapper to plot a multi-curve figure from
multiple data (files). It can produce PostScript, PDF, PNG or JPEG output file formats.
OPTIONS
--help|-H
display help
-h display short help
-V print program version number
-s create PostScript-file
-S send PostScript output to STDOUT (the same as '-s -o -')
-n create PNG-file
-j create JPEG-file
-p create PDF-file (requires the gnuplot "pdfcairo" driver)
-X don't set the terminal to 'x11' (use gnuplot's default instead)
-r0 reload data files continuously (default 8640:10)
-r <N:dt>
reload data files continuously by the specified config values
-c <cmd>
execute gnuplot command(s) (using the default plot style)
-m monochrome plot (valid for PostScript or PDF)
-l set plot size to 800x600 (valid for PNG and JPEG)
-o base name of the output file
-q quiet mode (all messages except errors to be suppressed)
-F <str>
input-data field separator (default is a single space character)
-i ignore local command file './.muplotset'
-I <file>
specify an alternative command file instead of './.muplotset'
-U do not sort the file list
-T <dir>
use this directory for temporary/working output files
Styles/Settings:
lp lines and points
l lines
p points
pp circle points
nn various points (types)
d dots
b boxes
g grid
nk do not plot keys (skip file names lables)
e errorbars - default used columns are 1:2:3 (x:y:yerror)
a fields with arrows; The data file has a special format in this case. Use 'prefield'
to prepare such data files.
dt=<fmt>
date/time series with the specified format; For example: dt="%H:%M.%S@%H:%M" where
the first part, in front of "@", defines the data format, and the second part
defines the format that will be used for tic labels. Here, hours and minutes are
separated by `:', respectively minutes and seconds by `.' Another example is date
and time stamp: dt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
3d plot 3-d data using 1:2:3
u=<fmt>
user specified plot style format (as defined in Gnuplot); For example: u="points
pointtype 2 pointsize 3"; To see the present terminal and palette capabilities of
gnuplot use the command 'muplot -c test'.
s=<opt>
user specified setting (as defined in Gnuplot); For example: s="logscale x"
Axes:
x:y,x:y-z
columns in the file defining the x/y-axes of the curve(s); Default are 1:2 or 1:2:3
for data with errors. In case that only one column is provided the default axes are
0:1 - the x-axis will be a simple index then.
File(s) could be a single file name whereas '-' means <stdin>, many files enclosed in ''
or "" like "file1 file2 file3", or any valid shell pattern as for example "*.dat". The
files '$HOME/.muplotset' and './.muplotset', if existing, will be included at the
beginning of the gnuplot script. The command block between "#BEGIN" and "#END" in those
files will be pasted to the end of the script. If you want that the global
'$HOME/.muplotset' is ignored, create in your local directory a file named
'.muplotset.noglobal'. In case you want to view the output, define the env variable
MUPLOT_VIEWER and export it, for example:
MUPLOT_VIEWER="xpdf -z page"; export MUPLOT_VIEWER
Then the program will prompt you to view the plot, and after confirmation the viewer will
present the graphics. If the postscript file format is chosen ('-s' option), and
MUPLOT_VIEWER is not defined, the viewer is preset to 'gv', and per default you are
prompted to view the output. To disable this behavior use the command "unset
MUPLOT_VIEWER".
EXAMPLES
1) On X-terminal view a multi-curve plot of all data-files with extension 'dat'
muplot "*.dat"
2) Print a sinus curve in black-and-white color on a PostScript-printer
muplot -m -S -c "set title 'Function f(x)=sin(x)'; plot sin(x);" | lpr
3) Plot data from file "example.dat" using columns 1:2, 3:4, and 3:5 as x/y-axes in the
multi-curve plot; a PostScript-file with the name "example.ps" is automatically created.
muplot -s example.dat 1:2,3:4-5
4) Create graphics in PDF-format reading data from file "example.1.dat" (columns 1:2), and
from file "example.2.dat" (columns 3:4)
muplot -p lp example.1.dat 1:2 example.2.dat 3:4
5) View file where the first column is data, and the third and forth columns are date of
the form 'yyyy-mm-dd' and time in the form 'hh:mm:ss'
cat example_counts_per_second.dat | muplot dt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" - 3:1
6) Plot 3-dimensional data from file "example_3d.dat" using the 1,3, and 5-th data columns
with dots-plot-style, enabling grid, setting the xrange to [0:10], disabling keys and
defining a plot-title
muplot nk g d 3d s="xrange [0:10]" s="title 'This is a 3-d plot'" example_3d.dat
1:3:5
7) Replot data 1000 times every 5 seconds and write temporary created files in the '/tmp'
directory; This scenario is useful in case of growing or otherwise changing over time
data-file
muplot -T /tmp -r 1000:5 example.dat
