PrestoPlot Class

The PrestoPlot class gives an interface to high level and application features. It is the main entry point to all you can do by interacting with PrestoPlot. It gives access to several managers to handle different parts of the application and data. A singleton is available through the PP global function.

Here is an example of getting the dataset manager to create a dataset :

set datasetManager [PP datasetManager]
set newDataset [$datasetManager createDataset "MyParameter"]

There is also helpers (global functions) to get quick access to the different managers. The same example can be achieved with the following code :

set newDataset [Datasets createDataset "MyParameter"]

The table below gives the helpers functions associated to each manager.

Global helper	Associated method
Datasets	datasetManager
Dates	dateManager
Files	fileManager
Graphs	graphManager
UI	ui

Then you can do what you need with the dataset manager.
