Create a Plot from CSV files

RVS supports plotting of visualization data stored using CSV (comma-separated values) files.

To plot a CSV file, have your CSV files uploaded in the Files tab.
The CSV plot file contains plot result data in the form of values with comma separated.

You can apply a template to view your CSV plot result and also create a new template using the CSV plot parameters.

If you have a default template set for a CSV plot file, you will be navigated to the plot result if the default template is valid for the selected result file. If a template cannot be applied to a result file, a message is displayed to select another valid template.
