Using MadAnalysis with gnuplot
Good afternoon,
I'm afraid I'm too stupid to use the MadAnalysis's gnuplot interface. I would much appreciate any help with this :)
When using MadAnalysis with the gnuplot option in the ma_card.dat, a file plots.top is produced. It looks pretty similar to the topdrawer output, but all but the data lines are commented out. I can plot these data points with gnuplot, however I have to divide the plots.top by hand and add all the labels manually which is quite a bit of work.
Is there a way to do this automatically, i.e. to create a gnuplot script that plots the same histograms that topdrawer would including all the labels?
Thanks a lot,
Johann

Dear Johann,
Unfortunately the gnuplot output of MadAnalysis is not very well developed and there is indeed quite a bit of manual labor in getting all the plots in an input that can actually be properly read by gnuplot.
Currently, work is put into writing a new, more advanced version of MadAnalysis which should become public in a couple of months. Therefore, no more features/
Kind regards,
Rikkert
