This plug-in is no longer supported and we no longer recommend using it. Instead, consider using the simple plotting scripts provided in the project.


The experimental Eclipse plug-in may be installed in two ways:

  • RidgeRun's Eclipse repository: Will have the latest plug-in stable version. It may not include all the newest features but will be extensively tested.
  • Local project: Maybe an experimental version, but will contain the latest features developed so far.

Details on how to use the plugin are described later on the Eclipse plugin page.
