I am currently learning to use ngspice. I use the gEDA suite and ngspice is the preferred version of spice for gEDA. I am making some progress, but I am stuck on a few things.
1. How do you get the 'plot' command to make the dotted lines on graphs, like the ones displayed on these web pages:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2169
http://brainwagon.org/2009/01/23/common-emitter-amplifier-design-using-ngspice/
I like the look of them, but I can't figure out what settings to change.
2. When I use the 'plot' command I get the new graph popping up in a new window like it should. When I press the 'Hardcopy' button I get a file saved, like '/tmp/hc10663'. I cannot figure out what to do next with this file - what program to use, etc. I would like to get a .ps,.png, or .pdf kind of output file that looks like the graph ngspice produces. Any ideas? I could always just take a screenshot of the graph.
Thanks,
Dave
