Purpose

The purpose of this module is to create CurveLists based on a string table. It parses a table of numeric values with two or more columns. The values of the first column will become the x-values and the 2nd any further column will become the y-series.

Usage

Populate the CurveTable with a string like the following one:

# Comment lines start with a '#' character.
# A table consists at least of two columns with x and y values.
# More columns specify an additional series og y-values.
# All columns must have the same number of values.
# A blank or a tab char separate the columns.
# Empty lines are ignored.
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 2 4
3 3 9
4 4 16
5 5 25
# The next line specifies a new series

Visible Fields

Curve Table

name: curveTable, type: String

The table with the values for the CurveList.

Split columns into data sets

name: splitTable, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If this flag is set to true, then a table with more than two columns is split into different CurveData objects. This gives the user the possibility to assign for each series a different style and title. If this flag is set to false, then all series of a single table are stored in a single CurveData object.

Curve Style(s)

name: style, type: String

An optional list of integral values that will be used as styles for the different CurveData objects. If less styles are provided than CurveData objects were generated then the last style value is used for all remaining CurveData objects.

Title(s)

name: title, type: String

An optional list of text elements that will be used as titles for the different CurveData objects. The titles have to be separated by a character that is stored in Title Separator(s). If less titles are provided than CurveData objects were generated then the last title is used for all remaining CurveData objects.

Title Separator(s)

name: separator, type: String

Specifies the separator characters for Title(s). The field accepts more than one character. If more were given, then each character is treated as a candidate for separation.

Clear

name: clear, type: Trigger

Using this button clears all input fields.

Update

name: update, type: Trigger

The content of all fields is used to generate a new CurveList.
