1D Data and the Graphing Window

Mana has a variety of commands to manipulate 1-D data (vectors). Vectors can be loaded from a data file or created with uniform spacing. New vectors can be defined as the arithmetical combinations of other vectors. For example, we could create a sine wave with the following two lines:


create x 1 20 0.01
set y = sin(x)
We can plot this pair of vectors on the Kapa graphing window:

limit x y
plot x y
box
The Kapa window has a variety of style options to change the plotting type (line, histogram, point), point type, line color, weight and style, and the errorbar style (if errorbars are plotted).
