Specify a File

qtiplot file_name.qti

Other file formats are also accepted: .opj, .ogm, .ogw, .ogg for Origin projects, and .qti, qti.gz for QtiPlot projects.

The name can also refer to an ASCII file:


qtiplot ASCII_file_name

The user is responsible for properly formatting the ASCII file. The file will be read and interpreted using the current settings from the Import -> Import ASCII... command dialog.
