Plots results from Digital DATCOM using Matlab

Requirements

For plotDATCOM to run correctly, the following files need to be in the same directory:

• plotdatcom.m (Main file)
• plotdatgui.m
• plotdatgui.fig
• mtable.m

Instructions

1. Open MATLAB and navigate to the directory containing the following files:

   • plotdatcom.m (Main file)
   • plotdatgui.m
   • plotdatgui.fig
   • mtable.m

2. Type 'plotdatcom' at the MATLAB command line. A GUI should appear.

3. On the GUI, select 'File > Load DATCOM file...' to load a 'for013.dat' file.

4. Use the menus and checkboxes to customize your output.

5. To open the plot in another window (for printing), select 'File > Export plot...'
