xyConvert

xyConvert is a simple utility that converts files in formats supported by xylib into two- or three-column ASCII text file.

Output file can be read by (almost) any data analysis software as x,y points. The optional third column is for error (standard deviation) of y.

Licence: GPL v2

Installation

Linux, FreeBSD, etc.

First install wxWidgets (wxGTK) 2.9 (not released yet, available only from SVN).

Download fityk source, unpack and:

./configure --enable-static
cd 3rdparty/xylib/
make
cd ../../src/wxgui/
make xyconvert

Windows

You can download EXE file and run it (no installation).

Mac OS X

not tested, but should work (after compiling with wxMac)

Screenshots

It looks better on Linux:

than on MS Windows:

UI Design

User interface is designed primarily for converting many files. That is why only a directory and a new extension for the output file(s) can be given.

It is also designed with reusability in mind - the same code (which is very small, less than 1KLOC) is also used as Open File dialog in fityk.
