EDIT: Sorry, wrong forum! it should be in the LabTalk Forum. Can somebody move it, or maybe somebody knows an answer at all. A LabTalk-solution would be highly prefered!

Hi, I'm searching for a more elegant way to plot my data. I've a worksheet with 12 columns (xyxyxyxyxyxy) and I want to plot it into a template with 6 layers.
The following script works but is quite complicated:
win -t plot c:\2x3 %P_graph;
%R=%H;
lay -s 1;
lay -i %Q_B;
lay -a;
legend;
lay -s 2;
lay -i %Q_D;
lay -a;
legend;
lay -s 3;
lay -i %Q_F;
lay -a;
legend;
lay -s 4;
lay -i %Q_H;
lay -a;
legend;
lay -s 5;
lay -i %Q_J;
lay -a;
legend;
lay -s 6;
lay -i %Q_L;
lay -a;
legend;
with %Q containing the name of the worksheet with the data to be plotted. But what if i want to expand it to a worksheet with, lets say, 100 colomns. I don't want to plot them this way! So I've tried the following
win -t plot c:\2x3 %P_graph;
%R=%H;
loop(i,1,6)
{
lay -s $(i); //till here, everything works
k=i*2; //these two lines are my problem
lay -i %Q_$(k); //these two lines are my problem
lay -a; //from here, everything works again
legend;
};
How can i tell him to take every second row from %Q and plot it into a new layer?
Thank you,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
First of all, are you sure you want 100 layers in the same graph? Aside from that, the %Q_%A syntax for naming a dataset requires that %A is the column name, not column number. Try this instead...
loop(i,1,6)
{
lay -s $(i);
k=i*2;
lay -i %(%Q,k);
lay -a;
legend;
};

No, definetly not in one graph. Might be a little bit confusing. :)
But a more elegant way with a shorter script is allways prefered to me.
Thanks, it works well! |
