Overall process

The overall process of creating a postscript plot with the plotting panel is this:

  1. Find a plotting directory
  2. Give the plot a name
  3. Go to 2. Layout, Margins and Data to set the main dataset and decide sizes and scales
  4. Add element Axes and Frame
  5. Run the plot and inspect the result
  6. If OK Continue by adding another element, e.g. Lines and Points. Browse for a few lines, select how to display them and rerun the plot.
  7. Continue adding element by element and check by running the plot inbetween.

Select working directory

Since the plot ultimately will be a Postscript file, it is necessary to select a directory on disk. This directory must have the name Plot, e.g "C:/tmp/Plot". No other directory name is accepted. In this directory both the postscript file and the saveset will be put.
