i want to start using XGraph but have no idea from where to start with.
it would be very helpful if i get any pdf which would guide me.
thank you

Your other posts are about ns2, so I assume it's about the VINT Xgraph(-12.1).

First thing to do : Install xgraph, preferably as an rpm package.
? Which Fedora version are you using ?
Please also show the output from $ uname -m <Enter>

.. If you already have a functional xgraph executable :
$ cd xgraph-12.1/examples/
$ xgraph Animation.xg
$ xgraph xgtest.xg
... etc. etc.

More examples, etc., post # 195 here :

Thank you for your previous reply. It was helpful.
I went through your link & understood xgraph somewhat.
now i want to plot xgraph for my LEACH protocol which is successfully implemented.

i tried writing the following command in the terminal-

xgraph out.tr
(here out.tr is the trace file which is generated after the Leach protocol implementation)

secondly i used the format given in the followinig link
http://computingforbeginners.blogspo...h-in-ns-2.html

but both time i got the same error...
ERROR-
error in file out.tr at line 1,2,3,4...........10000 and it goes on in a infinite loop and doesn't stop.

Please guide me what to do further.

# 3 .

Please read the text files xgraph-12.2/examples/ \
{ 1bar Animation.xg bar.xg surface2.xg surface3.xg surface.xg xgtest.xg }
... to know the formatting that's required for xgraph.

* * It is possible to write an awk script or a perl script,
which can sort out the out.tr data into an xgraph usable file.

The only leach plot I have seen, is here, post #425 :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...68/page29.html
... Don't know if it was done with gnuplot, or tkplot, etc.?

EDIT : The above works OK with xgraph :
$ xgraph leach-c.alive.txt
$ xgraph leach.alive.txt
$ xgraph stat-clus.alive.txt
... as three different plots.

Thank you for the quick reply.

regarding the awk file...i have also made two awk file for proper sorting out of data.
first file is for average energy consumption which i want to plot on the y axis
second awk file network lifetime in rounds which i want to plot on the x axis

But i am not getting how to proceed further.
shall i run the awk file? if yes, then how to run?
i just knew the procedure till making of awk files but further i dont know how to proceed.
please guide accordingly...thanking you in advance.

# 5 .

Example :
X : $ awk -f network-lifetime.awk out.tr > x-data.txt
Y : $ awk -f average-energy.awk out.tr > y-data.txt

I have installed leach and leach-c protocol but how to plot graph from leach.alive, leach.energy and leach.data file......
And how to calculate network lifetime and remaining energy for both leach and leach-c protocol.
