Data visualization and short analysis

Several programs are available:

cplot:
  • Executable from inside SPEC
  • Useful to print scans rapidly
  • General commands are pplot, cplot, cpsetup, ...


newplot:
  • Separate program to plot, fit and print scans
  • Multiple scans per graph
  • Launched from an xterm window (command newplot or specplot -s specsession)


xmgr:
  • We have a special version of xmgr that is able to read files with SPEC file format. In the "file" menu you need to select "Read SPEC file". Two windows appear. One indexes the SPEC file and the other one allows the selection of the scan and data to be plotted. Useful hint: the last window needs to be enlarged to see all the buttons, either horizontally or vertically.
  • On surf5 it can be launched using the command: ~/xmgr. The command xmgr starts the standard version of xmgr
