sigclear-plot

Generate high-quality image and graph plots as dependency-aware quality-control outputs.

Overview

Visualization connected to the experiment

sigclear-plot provides image and graph Programs for inspecting scientific datasets. Use them in a Figure definition so quality-control output follows the same dependencies as the processing results.

Quick example

Generate an image plot

Figure('./result.png', 'result',
    'sgplotps left.label="Sample"')

The Figure is regenerated when data/result.sg, the plotting Program or its parameters change.

Included Programs

sgplotpsRender image and wiggle plots from vector fields.man sgplotps
sggraphpsDraw graphs from scalar or vector fields.man sggraphps
sgoverlaypsOverlay PostScript figures and add annotations.man sgoverlayps

Libraries and APIs

Build customized visualization Programs

The Package provides libplot2 for plotting capabilities and libplotps for PostScript output. Public interfaces are available through the corresponding installed headers.

Output

Create vector and raster figures

The plotting Programs generate PostScript vector output. Figure, supplied by sigclear-experiment, can convert that stream to PDF, PNG, GIF or JPEG targets.
