Hello... Im still working on my import and I have not been able to get it to work yet.
When I execute my net file, it halts on Select and gives and error message saying "Bad parameter: input must be a group or list" What is wrong with my net file or general file that causes this error? How can I correct it? Does not the Import place the data in an vector list so that select may then choose which field to use? I would like look at my data setup with the "dx -prompter" but I cannot do so beacause when I attempt to run it, dx does not load and gives me segmentation fault error. That is another issue to be resolved at another time that I am not familiar with. Back to my problem at hand, here is my setup: My net file is as follows: >Import -> Select -> Autocolor -> AutoGlyph -> Collect -> Image My general file is as follows: >file = atom.data >points = 60 >format = ascii >interleaving = field >header = lines 32 >field = label, locations >structure = string[2], 3-vector >type = string, float > >end My data file is as follows: >32 lines header >Xe 131.3000 2.000 0.0 >C -144.861328357310 -138.510111919908 57.7522102060491 >C -120.450791461814 20.2810469146303 77.8698200819416 Regards, Todd >X-Authentication-Warning: opendx.watson.ibm.com: majordom set sender to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using -f >Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2001 16:51:21 -0600 (MDT) >From: Jeff Braun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [opendx-users] Correction RE: reading data with labels >MIME-Version: 1.0 > >Todd > >Have you made any progress with the import? > >I am not sure where the additional data (size, etc.) is stored in your >data file, all I see is label, locations.
