27<h3>Running RAWPLOT</H3></A>
28Below is an example of how to plot diffraction data in RAWPLOT.
29RAWPLOT is a good program for checking that data are appropriately
30formatted for GSAS. The screen input and output are shown in the
31box below. Computer output is formatted <tt>like this</tt> while
32user input is
33shown in <tt><B>bold</B></tt>. The generated plots are shown
34below the screen output.

94(t for time-of-flight/two-theta and p to plot), the entire
95range of data are plotted.

103<h3>On-the-fly reformatting</H3>
104Older versions of GSAS had fairly strict formatting requirements.
105While this is no longer the case,
106EXPGUI attempts to fix files that do not have the
107right line-lengths of line termination characters.
108When incorrectly formatted experiment (.EXP) files
109are read, no warning message is given, but the file is flagged on the
110title bar as "modified" immediately after the file is read.
111When a file is saved, it is rewritten in the
112correct format.
113<P>
114<BR clear=left>
115<img src="addhswarn.gif" ALIGN=LEFT>
116When histograms and instrument parameter files are read,
117their line-length & termination format is also
118inspected. If an error is found, an error
119message is displayed, as shown to the left.
120If OK is pressed, the original
121file is renamed and a properly formatted file is created.
122In this example file
123<tt>test.raw</tt> is renamed to
124<tt>test.raw.original</tt> 
125and a properly formatted version of
126<tt>test.raw</tt> file is created.
