Attached is an example of how the grid can be formatted. Just don't know how the data is linked, yet. Can have exponential axis, too.

The project homepage is: https://en.smath.info/forum/yaf_postst1774_X-Y-Plo...
and source code here: https://smath.info:8443/!/#public/view/head/plugin...

Doesn't appear to be any documentation, other than one of the author's textbooks: http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1621889 and possibly some postings in the Smath user forums

Thanks IRS... been on the yaf... that's where I gleaned the posting... I have XY Plot loaded as a plugin, but, if I try to load the program, the graph areas are blank.

Seems OK to me. I was able to load the plug-in and tweak parameters. However, it seems to be limited to certain, unclearly documented, pre-programmed functions. Nevertheless, for the functions that it can do, it seems to be pretty good and easy to use.

Can you send me a *.sn file? I cannot even get the one on the site to load properly. What tweaks? According to the limited documentation, the plugin should load vectors... all data types are vectors.

IRstuff (Aerospace) · Answer 7 · 2018-09-16 03:10:07

I changed the parameters and colors in the function calls, nothing earth-shattering...

IRS: still doesn't load. The path to the plugin is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SMath Studio\plugins

Is it the same for your machine?

Thanks, Dik

IRstuff (Aerospace) · Answer 9 · 2018-09-16 21:53:10

Oh, did you use the Tools | Plugins | X-Y Plot Region to do that? It should have all been automatic; the program downloads the plugin from the SMath wite and installs.

I'm going to uninstall and re-install... Doesn't allow me to delete it... going to re-install SMath...

The little trash can doesn't work?

You should be able to delete the folder containing the DLL and re-install it from the online gallery

Little trash can doesn't work... something's broken.

IRS:
Finally got it working... pretty slick... now to check variable names in plot to see if I can assign a variable to the name... else, I have to pick a scale and scale data.

I uninstalled the program,
Copied all my desktop files to F: drive
Erased all Drive c: with 'SMath'... there was a bunch
Scrubbed the registry of 'SMath'
Reinstalled the program
Installed plugin for XYPlot Region...

and it works... to reiterate, pretty slick. Thanks for the assistance and support.

Hah! That sounds oddly familiar; we used to have to do that sort of thing to get Mathcad to work after things would get broken.

IRS:... I'm like a little terrier when things don't work. I don't have enough common sense to quit. There was something embedded, somewhere...

IRstuff (Aerospace) · Answer 16 · 2018-09-18 02:20:35

The registry scrubbing and all that was in more than a few Mathsoft user forum threads

I had to make sure any remnants were gone... and, I think I scrubbed the system clean. Way back, I 'cleaned' Drive C:, not realising that my files on the desktop were cleaned, too. That's why I copy things to another area.

dik (Structural) · Answer 18 · 2018-09-19 14:24:36

Not done yet. I tried to isolate the circle and line parts without success. The image shown should work, but, for some reason doesn't. I've attached the actual *.sm file.

Any suggestions? There seems to be a 'disconnect' with the vector name.

Seems like there's a syntax thing going on. The input needs to be one or more nested matrices:

Thanks very much... I don't need all the shapes... just the circle and the line.

Your solution works almost like I thought it would when you trim away things like mine... except for your double sets of brackets... maybe that's the issue. Will check.

That's what the problem was. The graph was looking for a vector value and all the vectors referenced had to be converted to a single vector... I'd have never guessed. I wish there was an explanation to the used of xyplot. Seems to be a very useful and powerful plugin.
