NGRAPH(1)

👑 NGRAPH(1) — bestie edition 💅

okay so this is the manual for Ngraph, from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighborhood man pages. pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're doing graphs. 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Ngraph — making scientific 2-dimensional graphs, the cute way 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ngraph [options] [data file(s) or ngp file]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Ngraph is the program for making scientific 2-dimensional graphs, and it's literally made for researchers and engineers. iykyk. 📈

and the best part? your graphs can be exported to PostScript, SVG, PNG or PDF format. no cap. pick your fave and go off. 💅

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

command line options, incoming. buckle up bestie, there are a LOT and they're all iconic:

• -L file — load that ngp file 📂
• -x column — which data column is the x axis
• -y column — which data column is the y axis
• -X — use the X axis as the x axis 👑
• -Y — use the Y axis as the y axis 👑
• -U — use the U axis as the x axis
• -R — use the R axis as the y axis
• -d {mark | line | polygon | curve | diagonal | arrow | rectangle | rectangle_fill | rectangle_solid_fill | errorbar_x | errorbar_y | staircase_x | staircase_y | bar_x | bar_y | bar_fill_x | bar_fill_y | bar_solid_fill_x | bar_solid_fill_y | fit} — specify the plot type 🎨 (yes, that's the whole list, every single one, we love a complete menu)
• -m type — specify the mark type (it's 0-89, that's 90 whole marks, slay) ✨
• -o size — specify the mark size

• -f line — specify the number of the final line
• -vx n — neighbor average of the x data
• -vy n — neighbor average of the y data
• -mx formula — specify the math transformation for the x data 🧮
• -my formula — specify the math transformation for the y data 🧮
• -ex {linear | log | inverse | MJD} — specify the scale type of the x axis
• -ey {linear | log | inverse | MJD} — specify the scale type of the y axis
• -minx value — specify the minimum value of the x axis
• -maxx value — specify the maximum value of the x axis
• -incx value — specify the increment value of the x axis
• -miny value — specify the minimum value of the y axis
• -maxy value — specify the maximum value of the y axis
• -incy value — specify the increment value of the y axis
• -g — load settings from the data file 🔄
• -png file — convert the ngp file to PNG format 🖼️
• -pdf file — convert the ngp file to PDF format 📄
• -ps file — convert the ngp file to PostScript format
• -eps file — convert the ngp file to Encapsulated PostScript format
