quickplot is an interactive 2D plotter. You can very quickly swim through data with quickplot. quickplot is GPL(v3) free software.
This source package contains HTML files, man pages and text files that document quickplot. The quickplot home page contains the latest quickplot documentation.
quickplot is a standard GNU Autotools built package run:
./configure
make
make install
or run:
./configure --help
for a long list of configuration options. See instructions below for how to build and install from git repository source code.
See http://quickplot.sourceforge.net/about.html for Installation prerequisites and other details.
If you are building quickplot from the GitHub repository source files,
when you run configure you must use the --enable-developer
option
to enable the building of addition files that are in tarball
distributions, but not in the git repository. For example run:
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix /home/joe/installed/encap/quickplot \
--enable-developer --enable-debug
make -j5
make install
There is another optional quickplot package for development and testing the quickplot source code. Test/junk programs in this package do things like: display the default quickplot point and line colors in one window, or stupid things like read and print "NAN" as a double; just so developers know. You can get this "quickplot_tests" package by:
svn co\
https://quickplot.svn.sf.net/svnroot/quickplot/quickplot_tests\
quickplot_tests
Running the above line will make the directory quickplot_tests in the current directory.
- Add configure option --enable-developer=auto to be the default.
- Add middle mouse wheel zooming, like in google maps.
