How to plot a figure?

The command beat plotters plot <name> can be used to plot data using a specific plotter.

There a many ways to plot data:

  • Using sample data:

$ beat plotter plot --sample_data plottername
  • passing some private input data (no sample_data required here), specific plotterparameter and output image name

$ beat plotter plot plottername --inputdata inputdata.json --outputimage outputimage.png --plotterparameter plotterparameter

* inputdata.json is the filename containing data
* outputimage is the name of the saved image
* plotter the name of the plotter (e.g.: plot/bar/1)
* plotterparameter the name of the plotterparameter (e.g.: plot/bar/1)
  • without specifing the output image:

$ beat plotter plot plottername --inputdata inputdata.json --plotterparameter plotterparameter

* The image gets saved under the plotter path with default name "output_image.png"

Take into account that some extra options are available such as ‘–show’ which will pop out the generated plots on your screen.
