Plotting

Installation

1. install Julia as explained for example here
2. clone this repository
3. change into the folder Plotting

cd Plotting

4. run from bash

julia --project

Run from the julia prompt:

using Pkg
Pkg.instantiate()
using AutoSysimages
install()

Executing the example

@time include("src/plot.jl")

Additional examples:

The script plot2.jl provides an example to plot two signals in one windows, the example two_plots.jl shows how to plot two signals in two windows.

Creating a system image

To reduce the startup time it is possible to create a system image. This can be done using the following steps

cd Plotting
asysimg --project

On the julia prompt now execute:

@time include("src/plot.jl")

and close the plotting window.

Now quit Julia with:

exit()

You get the question: "... Do you want to build one?"
Answer with "Yes" by just pressing <ENTER>.

This will take a few minutes.

If you now start Julia again with the command:

asysimg --project

and execute on the Julia prompt:

@time include("src/plot.jl")

you will see that it goes much faster.

On my computer it needed 14.6s without system image and 5.7s with system image.

Tested on Ubuntu.
