To load a plot using an existing configuration file click File and in the "New Plot Information" dialog check the "use XML configuration file" box. A File dialog will open. /p>
Alternatively, a plot defined by a XML configuration file can be loaded at startup using the command line option -x.
The configuration files may be edited using a text editor. RtPlot is somewhat insensitive to the correctness of the XML file. This will probably be improved in a future version. The best way to produce a configuration file is by using the File->Save configuration from the menu, and then edit it if necessary.
Most tags in a configuration file have either self-explanatory names or the same name as in RtPlot menus. The tag line_color has three comma separated values corresponding to RGB values of the color of curves. The line_style tag accepts the values SOLID, DASH, DOT, DASHDOT and DASHDOTDOT. Numbers appended to tag names correspond to the various curves in the window. If the window contains more than a single curve, the curve number is appended to the tag.
