Plotting Program, with Comments (actual Fortran code is in Bold)
PROGRAM Plotter
!### First, declare all the variables you are going to use:
CHARACTER*35 title
CHARACTER*8 xtitle,ytitle
REAL ymin,ymax,xdata(132),ydata(132)
INTEGER i, npoints
!### Then, open file & read the data:
open(unit=9,name="sheet1Q10.dat",type="old") !Opens the data file and assigns unit number=9 to it.
read(9,*)xtitle,ytitle !Reads in the axis labels from unit=9 (data file).
npoints=132 !The number of x,y points in the data file.
do i=1,npoints !A 'do-loop' - it tells the computer to do everything between 'do' and 'enddo' 132 times.
read(9,*)xdata(i),ydata(i) !Reads in all the data - 2 numbers per line (x,y).
print*,'Reading line #',i !This will print to screen, letting you know what line it's currently reading.
enddo !The end of the do-loop.
close(9) !Closes the data file.
!### Prepare some stuff for the graph:
title='Temperature Vs. Mass in the Sun'
!Set limits of graph to be plotted:
xmin =0.0
xmax=1.0
ymin =3.0
ymax=8.0
!========= Below is the code that calls the plotting program PgPlot ===========!
!=======For more info on PgPlot see: www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/ =======!
call PGBEGIN(0,'?',1,1) !Opens PgPlot program.
call pgsci(1) !Sets colour for the graph border (1=white, 2=red, 3=green, etc.)
call pgenv(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,0,0) !Makes PgPlot window. [0,0 = not square, draw box with coords]
call pgsci(1) !Set colour for the titles.
call pglabel(xtitle,ytitle,title) !Plots the titles we set earlier.
call pgsci(3) !Sets colour for line.
call pgline(npoints,xdata,ydata) !Plots the data.
call PGEND !Closes PgPlot.
