Draco can generate scatter and line graphs via the Data Plot
functionality. Data Plots are useful for variable compairon and
data visualization. Draco allows mulitple dependent
variables to be plotted simultaneously within a single set of axes.
The resulting plots can be saved separate from the worksheet in a
variety of formats, and the plot can be directly copied to the system
clipboard for pasting into other applications.
Usage
Data Plots can be created whenever the Data Window is in focus. To create the plot, select Plot column data... from the Plot Menu. Alternatively, click the Data Plot button from Data Window the toolbar.
or
Either option will open the Plot Column Data dialog.
Exporting OpenDocument Spreadsheets
Exporting Draco worksheets to OpenDocument Spreadsheets writes all
numeric data, including both Variables and Constants, to a new
OpenDocument spreadsheet. The resulting file is compatible with the OpenOffice Calc application, as
well as a host of other programs.
The spreadsheet resulting from the export will consist of three sheets
named variables, constants, and descriptions. The
first sheet, variables, contains the names of all variables on
the first row followed by all values on subsequent rows. The
constants sheet contains two columns, if applicable. The first
column lists the labels of all constants from the Draco worksheet, and
the second column lists their respective values. Finally, the
description sheet will contain two columns, if applicable. The
first column contains the variable names, and the second contains their
related descriptions. Only variables with descriptions are listed on
the final sheet.
Exporting Text Files
Draco can export numeric variable data to comma-separated value (CSV)
text files. Furthermore, Draco does allow for the selection fo only
certain variables to output ot the text file. If the user selects the
Export Columns... from the Export/Plain Text submenu, the
following dialog will appear:
