From: Helmut Giese on 13 Apr 2010 00:50 Hello out there, I never realized it but plotting digital data is different from plotting a "continuous" curve (like a sinus): You don't connect the values at t(n) and t(n+1), because this would result in a sawtooth like plot. Instead you draw a horizontal line until the value changes, draw a vertical line up (or down) and continue from there. Can BLT be used for this kind of plot? I checked the graph man page and went thru the slides but couldn't find anything. Any link will be greatly appreciated. Best regards Helmut Giese

I use the stepl to display state information. Martyn

Hi Martyn, >BLT has 4 point connection line styles which are configured using the >"-smooth" option : >linear: Straight line (default) >step: only horizontal/vertical (what you are looking for) >natural >quadratic I'd probaly never considered this option to be of relevance here.. Thanks, great. Best regards Helmut Giese |
