ISSA Plot Applet v2.0
The IRSA plot applet service is not meant for direct use (i.e. you can't "start it" from this page. It is meant to be used for linking plot references on Web pages.

For example:

Create plot window

creates a new window containing an instance of our plot applet displaying your data. This is accomplished by handing our service the URL to your data:

<a href="http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/PlotApplet/nph-plot?
   ref=
http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/PlotApplet/test.xml">
       Create plot window
</a>

We then generate a small HTML page which references our applet (the applet JAR file will only be downloaded once and cached by the Plug-in), then hands it your URL. The XML data being plotted above can be downloaded here:

Example XML plot file

(The ref above; this reference can be any URL so long as it points-to/returns plot data in this XML syntax).
