putplot2, putplot3: 2D/3D Non-Interactive Plotting

A quick and dirty look at signals can be accomplished by executing putplot2 and putplot3 from the command line user interface (CLUI) or by using the graphical user interface (GUI). putplot2 is intended for the display of 1D data records, and putplot3 for the quick plotting of 2D signals. There is limited flexibility on the display attributes of these tools. putplot2, plutplot3 can be executed from within cantata, or directly from the command line.

putplot2

The features provided by putplot2 include:

• display or not of area title

• background color
• plot type
• line type
• marker type

Click on the "options" button to have access to some basic display options. NOTE: if the display is all "black", change the "Plot Color" option.

2D Plot Object Attributes

To have more plot options you must first edit the putplot2 "object". Press the "Shift" key and click the left mouse-button on the "gray" or background area of the display. Observe the background area to have a grid over it. This indicates that you are ready to edit this visualization object.
