Plotting Instructions
Request a plot by filling in plot labels in the text boxes, and placing the numbers to be plotted in the large box below them. For a y-versus-x plot, enter both an x and then a y value on each line, and for a y-versus-x plot with associated errors, enter an x and a y value and then an associated error on each line, separated by white space (blanks).
For example, for an x value of 3.54, a y value of 12.67, and an error value of 0.75, type "3.54 12.67 0.75" onto a single line, and hit return. Do not add any quotation marks, commas, parentheses, or brackets — just type the individual numbers in turn.
Three fits will be made to your data: y versus x, y2 versus x, and y versus x2. Examine all three lines carefully, and decide which one best matches the patten formed by the data points.
Keep track of which variable you are plotting on the x-axis, and which variable you are plotting on the y-axis. Make sure to include proper units in your axis labels, to help with this.
Be careful when entering your data. Do not leave blank lines, or add extra entries to the lines that contain the numbers to be plotted.
