Getting the most out of your plots

Here is a possible outline for this section:

• explanations of basic types: clouds 1D/2D, histograms 1D/2D, tuples, etc.
• creating plots from a sample Driver (use Analysis101 or some other template)
• plotting on new window
• adding plot to existing window
• changing axis label: text value, font, size, etc.
• changing axis range min/max
• changing to log scale
• overlaying plots
• changing filled/unfilled and colors for value bars, error bars
• modifying fields that show in statistics box
• saving and reloading plots using .aida files
• discussion of various graphics formats (which is best for what purpose)
• importing into a Powerpoint presentation
• basic fitting (would keep this pretty simple)

It would probably be best done with more than one page.

Introduction

For plotting and fitting, org.lcsim provides an implementation of AIDA.
This tutorial will assume that you are working in JAS3 and have either loaded an existing AIDA file or created objects in AIDA with the org.lcsim plugin.
