The GraceTMPL classes provide an easy way to use existing grace-files as a
|
|
template to format any number of graphs in a predefined way and save them as
|
|
grace-files. This way you can apply the same graphical appearance to all of
|
|
your data. In case your preferences change, you just alter the template and
|
|
reformat your complete set of data within the shortest amount of time.
|
|
|
|
The capabilities of GraceTMPL include:
|
|
* The application using the GraceTMPL classes can define environment
|
|
variables for the sheet, each graph and each dataset. The variables can
|
|
be used in the template for dynamic string replacement. Even output
|
|
filenames can be templated using variable substitution.
|
|
* Datasets in the template file can be marked to be included in the
|
|
destination files for easy reference.
|
|
* Datasets can be tagged with arbitrary information strings to be
|
|
interpreted by the application using GraceTMPL. This way information can
|
|
be passed to the application on how to create the datasets and what kind
|
|
of information is intended by the template author.
|
|
* In case no template file is loaded by the application, GraceTMPL::Save
|
|
will output plain sets of data tables which can easily be imported by
|
|
XmGrace or other applications.
