In BE 105 you can make a plot of your graph size vs running time with gnuplot. Create a file with 2 numbers per line, graph size then time. Say its name is prim.times. Start gnuplot with no arguments. gnuplot plot "prim.times" It should open a window with a plot in it. If it looks like a straight line you can fiddle around to plot that line too. plot "prim.times", .002 + .005 * x To save your plot to a file do this: set output "prim.times.ps" set terminal postscript color eps plot "prim.times", .002 + .005 * x The plotting window disappears. To return to plotting in a window you can see: set terminal x11 There is a large help interface. To see your postscript file (outside gnuplot): ghostview prim.times.ps To convert it to pdf (doing a lousy job of it probably): ps2pdf prim.times.ps If you want to submit plots made with gnuplot, describe them in your README. Don't submit screen-capture plots. They usually look bad and the files are very large. --Allen
