| Title | Introduction to GnuPlot |
|---|---|
| Date | Wednesday, June 4, 2008 |
| Time | 9:30 am until 11:30 am |
| Place | 338 Johnston Hall |
| Description | This course is an introduction to to the GnuPlot plotting utility. We will cover the basics of using GnuPlot. We will not cover anything to do with Xwindows systems or clients. This will need to be installed and working before you attend the training. |
| Prerequisites | You must have an account on a LONI or HCP machine. All hands on exercises will require that you log on to the machine to create plots and graphs. You must also have an X windows system installed on your laptop such as Cygwin or Xming. Links to Xming and Cygwin: For Xwindows settings please see: X11 Forwarding . Please be aware that you will also need a ssh client to use with your X11 documents. We suggest Putty. There is a Xming download with Putty rolled in. |
