plt Format
This text-based file format can hold multiple data series against the same abscissa (horizontal axis) data in an array format. There are four types of lines:
- A definition line containing four space separated fields:
- The keyword ARRAY
- The plot title (in single quotes)
- A count of how many series are stored
- The number of points per series
- The abscissa data as space separated fields holding the axis title followed by the number of data points specified in the first line (field 4)
- Multiple ordinate data lines (as specified in field 3 of the first line), each as space separated fields holding the series title followed by the number of data points specified in the first line (field 4)
- Optional comment lines beginning with the `#' character
An example of a file is shown below.
# The data is in array format
# It has one set of x-axis data, multiple sets of y-axis data
# It can have names for the data view and for the x and y series
# Each x point can have a point label
