[Kst] plot all columns from command line and some more newbiequestions

[Andrew Walker]

Hi Fabian,

There are some examples in the documentation:

http://kst.kde.org/handbook/index.html

and scroll to the very bottom of the page.
There are some dozen or so examples of using scripting.

Let us know if you have any specific questions or the documentation would 
benefit from a particular example.

For the datasource and scripting, you can do something like the following:

ds = new DataSource("some/file.txt")                // the name of your data 
file
ds.setConfiguration("customdelimiter", " )(")
v = new DataVector(ds, "1")                            // the column number 
of interest

Alternatively, the following should also work:

Open the Data Wizard
Select your file
Click Configure...
In the "Data Format" group click on "Custom delimiter"
Enter " )(" [without the quotes] in the corresponding edit field
Shutdown kst
Load your file from the command line (the settings are remembered across 
sessions)

Hope that helps,

Andrew
