Basic Table Plot File Format

The most general format recognized by Vupos is a simple text file wherein the data are arranged one per line with the independent value first on the line and one or more dependent values following separated by whitespace. Vupos will recognize the scientific notation typical of most programming languages. It will also recognize the basic ISO 8601 date format for the independent value only.

Two truncated examples are given for this format. The first is a very basic X-Y data set.

1.62 3.76
0.75 4.13
1.33 3.76
1.05 3.69
0.39 3.05
0.82 3.32
0.93 3.69
0.39 3.13
1.07 3.12
1.12 3.63

The second is a more complex X, Y1, Y2, Y3, … data set with the X or independent values being epochs.
