Question

How to draw graphs in Opasnet?

Answer

R-tools

In R-tools, you have the functionalities of R available. We recommend that you use the package ggplot2 whenever possible. It is very powerful, and borrowing good ideas from others is easier if we all use the same approach. Of course, it is also possible to use plot' (a kind of basic graph) as well, but the limits come sooner. This is an example code that contains all kinds of examples with comments.
