Supported formats

  • .txt

Loader selection

PhysPlot uses plugin-based file loaders. You can choose the active loader from:

  • Settings > File Loader

  • The Data Loader dropdown above Import Data

Loader plugins are auto-discovered at startup from the fileloader/ folder. The built-in default loader keeps standard CSV/XLSX/TXT/TSV import support.

Import steps

  1. Click Import Data.

  2. Select a supported file.

  3. PhysPlot loads values into the table and creates top-row dropdowns.

Use the dropdown at row 0 for each column and choose one of:

  • Ignore

  • X-axis

  • Xerr

  • Y-axis

  • Yerr
