Tips and tricks

Axes

  • If you place an axis inside a grid, it is shared by all the graphs in the grid that don't have an axis with the same name

Exporting multiple 1-D datasets as columns in a CSV file

  • If you have multiple (numerical or computed) 1-D datasets of the same length (e.g. called 'one', 'two' and 'three') which you want to export as columns in CSV format, open the console window and type:

savetxt('myvariables.csv',column_stack((GetData('one')[0], GetData('two')[0], GetData('three')[0])), header='Exported values of one, two three',delimiter=',')

and in the current directory you should find the file myvariables.csv, with the specified header as the first line commented out with a '#' character. You can make multiline comments by including line breaks ('\n') in the header string.

Style sheets

  • If you are dealing with lots of similar data plots make a style sheet, you can apply it each time you import data and it saves painstakingly tweaking it each time
