💖 XPL2GPL(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for xpl2gpl (that's section 1, the "commands you actually run" section, iykyk). Buckle up, it's short but it's cute.

✨ NAME ✨

xpl2gpl — converts tcptrace-style xplot input into gnuplot input. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xpl2gpl [-s] <file_name>

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So here's the tea: xpl2gpl is a utility that converts tcptrace-style xplot input into gnuplot input. 🧚

And like, not to brag, but this converter gives you a nearly perfect gnuplot reproduction of the corresponding xplot graph. nearly perfect. we said what we said. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -s — Seperate files. (yes bestie, that's how it's spelled in the original, we're not touching it 💀) If you only wanna plot some of the data from the xpl file, this is your girl — -s generates a whole bunch of datafiles, filtered based on the color and the plotting style. it's giving "cut the noise, keep the vibe" 🎀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

xpl2gpl foo.xpl

This would produce files by the names "foo.gpl", "foo.datasets" and "foo.labels". 📁✨

Then you load the file "file_name.gpl" in gnuplot and it should give you the plot. boom. plot acquired. main character energy. 🔥

⭐ NOTES ⭐

xpl2gpl is provided for convenience, and here's why: gnuplot is more commonly installed than the xplot package that tcptrace typically expects, and also because xplot has not always been available in Debian. real ones remember. 😭

But bestie, listen — if possible, you should consider installing the xplot-xplot.org package and using it instead of using xpl2gpl. 🫶 Not a vibe check failure, just the actual recommendation.
