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.

Here is an example of creating a dataset : 

pp = new PrestoPlot("PrestoPlot path")
newDataset = pp.datasetManager.createDataset("MyParameter")
