Support for character data is discussed below. Internally as a single precision real number.

The format of individual data values is general.

Up the read by specifying a format for the data. In specific columns, you may be able to significantly speed

That is, they need not beĪligned in specific columns. Non-printing characters, such as tabs, are Data values on a line image must be separated by at least oneīlank or comma.The case where the data line is longer than 255 The COLUMN LIMITS can be used to restrict the read to certainĬolumns. By default, the full line image is 255 characters. In scanning for the k variables, the full line image is.Results in X containing the 3 elements 1, 2, and 3 YĬontaining the 3 elements 1, 4, and 9 and the values 1, 8, READ command differs from the SERIAL READ command), and theseĪre read into successive elements of the individual variables. Only the first k data values are read (this is how the Then each line image must have at least k data values. If there are k variables listed on the READ statement,.The first argument is a variable name and it tries to readįor this ideal case, the following are the basic rules. Names are not case sensitive (Dataplot converts all alphabeticĭataplot recognizes the first argument as a file name if itįinds a '.' in the name. Since their use can cause problems in some contexts. Other characters can in fact be used, this is discouraged To alphabetic (A-Z) and numeric (0-9) characters. Names can be up to eight characters long and should be limited

The remaining arguments identify the variable names. The first argument after the READ is the name of the ASCII file. In this case, you can read the file with a command like the Commas or tabs may be used as delimiters as well. Numeric data where the data columns are separated by one or At this time, Dataplot doesīy default, Dataplot assumes rectangular data files containing XML based data files areīecoming increasingly popular as well. You need to save the data from these programs in an ASCII file Some support may be provided in future releases, but for now Dataplot has limited support for binary dataįiles (see the Note sections below with regards to reading FortranĪlso, Dataplot does not currently support directly reading filesįrom other statistical/spreadsheet programs or database files. The READ command is primarily intended for reading from the terminal from within a CALLed DATAPLOT sub-program.
