3.2.9. Plot asciidump file format¶
If one decides to save the plot as a file, then the plot adum
command (Plot: Plotting data and models)
is used. This will save the spectrum in the QDP file format.
Depending on the plot type, the number of columns and their content in the output QDP file changes.
Note that the units of the output are the same as the ones that you set for the plot.
