3.2.14. - Modes 13 & 14: Read data from binary files
These modes allow points to be plotted from binary files, the fastest way to read data into C-PLOT. The format of the file is given by the struct
pt given in the include file
p_plot.h
That structure is:
struct pt {
int p_flags; /* flags for this point */
float p_d[4]; /* data */
};
Presently,
p_flags contains line-control status in the low-order
two bits.
The elements in
p_d[4] hold
x,
y,
x
error bars and
y
error bars in 2D mode.
In 3D mode they hold
x,
y,
z
and
z
error bars.
The general
gd command options, described below, can be used
with these modes.
Mode 14 reads from an indefinitely long file, like modes 11 and 12.
