Endian Examples


The three plots below illustrate the use of the different endian command line arguments on the same data sets from the Plot of Binary Data.

At least one of the plots will displayed incorrectly.

If you are running on a little-endian machine such as a machine with an Intel x86 processor, then the -binary and -littleendian plots will be incorrect.

If you are running on a big-endian machine, such as a Sun SPARC, then the -littleendian plot will be incorrect.

See the Ptplot FAQ for details.

-binary

The plot below uses the -binary argument.
