Hi all,

I have a txt file containing x,y values from multiple overlaid graphs.
For example, this txt file contains (x,y) coordinates for 4 independent graphs that start and end at different points::

Below I imported the data into a spreadsheet, separated it into different columns and plotted the graphs:

In PureData, is there a way to read a txt file of this type file and plot the four graphs on the same canvas?
test_graph.txt

Thanks,
a.

I think you could export each plot to a separate text file then read each file into a separate graph array which can have a different colour and stacked on top of each other (the four arrays could also be sent to same graph if preferred).
Or create another column in the spreadsheet to give the coordintates a plot identity which can be used to filter the xy pairs.

@atux This should work for parsing the file, but you will need to add the stuff for resetting the counters/moses/max and before running it you will want to zero the arrays. Not 100% certain I got the order on the array sizing correct, the summer heat is melting my brain.
parse.pd

plot the four graphs on the same canvas?

Not completely certain about your intention here, do you mean canvas literal or graph? Are you trying to get it to look like your screen shot? or just a standard pd graph? If you want it to look like your screen shot but don't need it to be interactive you can easily use dynamic patching, if you need it to be interactive then data structures are probably your best bet but it can be managed without by hiding some sliders under a canvas. Need more info to offer help here.
