Package: labplot Version: 1.5.0.4-1 Severity: wishlist
Using Plot -> New Plot from data -> 2D data, one can generate a plot. But this assumes that the data is stored along columns. It would be cool if you can add support for plotting across rows as well. AFAIK not many visualization softwares have that facility. For example the above behaviour cannot be achived by gnuplot on its own. The authors of gnuplot suggest to use an external tool to transpose the data and then replot it using gnuplot. The following links confirm that fact. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot/browse_thread/thread/d8d25ad19d1b9c92/eb62557507eea08b?lnk=st&q=gnuplot+plot+rows&rnum=5#eb62557507eea08b http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot/browse_thread/thread/db332fdde04b018a/d096895759b8f145?lnk=st&q=gnuplot+plot+rows&rnum=16#d096895759b8f145 http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot/browse_thread/thread/5b5b04653df95e84/2f3008bc6061ab37?lnk=st&q=gnuplot+plot+rows&rnum=3#2f3008bc6061ab37 http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot/browse_thread/thread/53165da72af58f59/f77c321d33dadbc6?lnk=st&q=gnuplot+plot+rows&rnum=7#f77c321d33dadbc6 It would be more user-friendly if labplot inherently provides a mechanism (ie without asking the end user to transpose the data) to plot across the rows. thanks raju -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages labplot depends on: ii fftw3 3.0.1-14 library for computing Fast Fourier ii kdelibs4c2 4:3.4.2-4 core libraries for all KDE applica ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.7-2 The Network Audio System (NAS).
