4 Quick start

Select "Tools - JHPlot examples". You will see a pop-up table with the example Jython files. If you double click on the file names, you should see jHPlot canvas with example plots.

Similarly, you can run the examples manually. Open any file with the extension ".py", ".bsh" or ".java" from the directory ``macros/example'' using the File Browser of jHepWork. You should double-click on the file name. Then click on ``run'' button from the Tool Bar of jHepWork. You can also use the ``F8'' keyboard button for fast execution of a script. You should see plots generated by the scripts. Every script creates a PNG figure with the plots. Try to learn main classes by looking at these examples.

Most examples were written in Jython, since they are significantly shorter than equivalent programs written in Java or BeanShell (see Jython web pagehttp://www.jython.org/.

web pagehttp://www.jython.org/ is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented language Python integrated with Java. It allows you to run Python on any Java platform, and has all the advantages of Python which is ideally suited for scientists and engineers [1].

One can also run the standard JAIDA examples. The examples are located in ``macros/example/jaida_examples''. Run the examples as usual: double click on the corresponding file name and the click on ``run'' button on the Tool Bar.
