The Dataplot installation comes with a large number of Dataplot programs and macros. Dataplot macros are ASCII text files that contain Dataplot commands. We make a slight distinction between macros and programs. Macros are files that are meant to be run with a user's data set while programs are files that analyze a specific data file. This is an organizational distinction and macros and programs are run in the same manner. The term Dataplot macro will often be used to refer to both macros and programs.

These programs and macros serve 2 purposes:

1. Provide useful capabilities that can be applied to your own data sets.
2. Serve as guides for writing your own Dataplot macros.

When Dataplot is installed, a directory is specified that contains the Dataplot auxillary files (including these macro files). If this was done correctly, you can run these macros by entering

CALL <name>

where <name> is the name of the macro as given below. The contents of the file can be displayed on the screen by entering

LIST <name>

If Dataplot can not find the file when these commands are entered, the local installation did not set the auxillary directory correctly. Contact your local installer for assistance. You can still use the CALL and LIST commands on these files. However, you will need to use the complete path name on your system (get this from the person who did the local installation).
