I'm new to this topic and have no idea on how to write a batch script and plot the graph in xmgrace. Also, I have not found good examples which will guide me as a beginner to write such scripts.
What I have: A simple data file.
$ cat test_manual.dat
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
$
My Script:
$ cat first_file.bfile
arrange(6, 2, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2)
READ NXY "test_manual.dat"
WORLD XMIN 0
WORLD XMAX 5
WORLD YMIN 0
WORLD YMAX 5
s0 line color 1
title "Ten"
PRINT TO "first_file.agr"
PRINT
$
Please let me know what changes are required to make this file work and also help with any tutorial which will guide me through the advanced concepts as well.
If you just need to automatically create an agr file your batch file is almost fine. Just use this:
WORLD XMIN 0
WORLD XMAX 5
WORLD YMIN 0
WORLD YMAX 5
s0 line color 1
title "Ten"
SAVEALL "first_file.agr"
Note that, in order to make it print the agr file, you need to xmgrace (or gracebat) with the -nosafe argument, like this:
gracebat -nosafe -batch first_file.bfile
As far as I know there are no tutorials for creating batch files for xmgrace. What I usually do is to analyse agr files produced by xmgrace and copy the parts that I want to include in the batch files. The list of commands that can be used can be found here
