How to port from ctioga to ctioga2
This page is of interest for people who are using
ctioga
and who would like to switch to ctioga2.
Important note: development of ctioga has stopped in 2009, you are
advised to port your graphs to ctioga2 !
For the simplest plots, simply changing ctioga to ctioga2 should
do the trick. The rest of this page will, eventually, cover the most
important specific details.
Themes
Support for themes was dropped completely in ctioga2, as they were
more a nuisance than a gain. Equivalent functionality should be easy
to obtain with the various -set commands, especially now that the
sets can be specified easily on the command-line:
ctioga2 --math --color-set 'Blue|Green|Pink|Orange' \ 'sin(x + 0##3)'
And what about ctable ?
ctioga came along with a small helper program, ctable, that
paralleled the table terminal of gnuplot, and
that could be used to quickly manipulate data files. ctable does not
exists with ctioga2, but you can reproduce its behavior with the
--load and the --print-dataset commands:
ctioga2 --math -L 'sin(x)' -P
Unimplemented features
As of version 0.8, none of the old @ctioga@’s features are missing in
ctioga2. You really have no excuse for not switching !
