Purpose

The purpose of the module CurveCreator is to create CurveLists based on a string table.

It parses a table of numeric values with two or more columns.

The values in the first column will become the x-values, and the values in the second and any subsequent columns 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 of y values.
# All columns must have the same number of values.
# A space or a tab char separates 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

Title Separator(s): String

Title(s): String

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 checked, a table with more than two columns is split into different CurveData objects.

This gives the user the possibility to assign a different style and title for each series. 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

Sets an optional list of integral values 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

Sets an optional list of text elements 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

Sets 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

When pressed, all input fields are cleared.

Update

name: update, type: Trigger

When pressed, the content of all fields is used to generate a new CurveList.
