MagicPlot Projects contain Tables, Figures and Fit Plots. MagicPlot Project files have .mppz extension.
Typically, you need to open, edit, process, plot and fit multiple data of various experiments or series of experiments within single project. Ordinarily you have the source (imported) Table and a number of Tables with derivative data, such as Fourier transform or statistics of source Table data. MagicPlot automatically creates a new Folder every time you import new Table. All derivative data is stored in the same Folder by default. All Plots created from Tables in certain Folder are stored in the same Folder.
MagicPlot supports unlimited depth undo/redo function with History dialog window. History dialog supports multiple undo and redo. Undone actions are light gray. Last saved state is shown with bold font.
In most cases you may start with importing table from text file by clicking Project → Import Text Table
menu item.
The easiest way to create Figure or Fit Plot is the following:
Create Figure
of Create Fit Plot
item in the Table context menu (right click)
You may also use Create Figure
or Create Fit Plot
buttons in the toolbar.
MagicPlot can interpret simple expressions in all numeric text field, see formula syntax for details. For example you can enter 12/pi
in ellipse width and height fields in Dimensions toolbar if you want the perimeter to be equal to 12 (remember that p=πd, where p is perimeter and d is diameter):
