This project uses make to simplify the compilation. You can tweak the compilation flags by modifying the Makefile file.
Running make all from the root directory compiles all the source files into an executable called plotgen.out located in the the bin folder.
If it doesn't exist already, create a folder named data in the root directory, then simply run the generated executable. This should create a file with a .plot extension in the data folder.
That file describes the generated plot.
Run make <filename>.plot from the root directory or directly run the plot.py script with the path to the .plot file as an argument.
If a .venv environment exists in the root directory, make <filename>.plot will use that, otherwise it will use the global python environment.
Note that the matplotlib python module is used for plotting. You can install it globally with pip install matplotlib. The more recommended method however is to create a virtual python environment specific to the project.
You can do that by running the following commands:
$> python -m venv .venv
$> .venv/bin/pip install matplotlib
$> mkdir data
$> make all
$> ./bin/plotgen.out
$> make comparison.plot
