<tt>gnuplot</tt>. |
<!-- $State$

|
<p> |
|
You need to click on <tt>imach</tt> application and IMaCh will be |
|
launched in a Terminal window, asking you to enter |
|
a <tt>parameter</tt> file. A parameter file is a text file with an |
|
extension <tt>.imach</tt> (but you can use a <tt>.txt</tt> extension |
|
if you want. Among the parameters required, a data file name has to |
|
be entered. It can be a relative file name |
|
like <tt>../../data/data1.txt</tt>. <br> If you open a new finder you |
|
can drag an IMaCh parameter file into the terminal IMaCh Window that |
|
you just created. |
|
<p> |
|
At the end of the run, and it order for the terminal window not to |
|
disappear, the program will prompt for a command like "<tt>e</tt>" for |
|
edit (with your browser) or "<tt>q</tt>" for quit. |
|
|
|
<br> The consequence for you is just that you have to use your finder |
|
or browser (there is no more difference now) and click on the |
|
<tt>.html</tt> (or .htm) file created. The filename of this html |
|
file has the same name as your parameter file, only the extension |
|
.imach is changed to .html. |
|
|
|
<h3>On Linux</h3> There are various versions of Linux, gnuplot is |
|
distributed on most distributions. Just verify that your version of |
|
gnuplot is more recent than version 4.6 . I haven't had time to make |
|
a rpm yet, just ask us for the CVS tree location (not completely GPL |
|
today), and compile the sources. Remarks concerning the Linux versions |
|
are similar to the Mac OS/X version. |

<h2>IMaCh Wiki</h2> |
|
As discussed at the REVES meeting in <a href="http://www.prw.le.ac.uk/cgi-bin/reves/2005.cgi">Beijing</a>, we created a Wiki for IMaCh were people having used IMaCh (or having not been able to use it because of obscure or unadequate features) can add tips and discuss various aspects of IMaCh and interface with other statistical softwares. In many aspects, our "official documentation" is not accurate enough. |
|
|
|
<p> Wikis are a very promising way to give information closer to your expectations. It also a very dynamic movement if you consider the first <a href="http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">International Wikimedia Conference in Francfurt</a> (August 2005), where most Wikis were represented and in particular <a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>. |
