Negative differential resistance plot, such as in a Gunn diode.

Generated in gnuplot with the following script (save as gunn.plt and then open in gnuplot):
Then I opened the gunn.ps file in a text editor to edit the line colors and linestyles, as per this description archive copy at the Wayback Machine. This avoids needing to open in proprietary software, and really isn't that difficult (especially if you don't know the commands in the proprietary software either). ;-) Identify the lines easily by their color (the arrow is currently magenta and I want it to be black. Ah, there is the entry with 1 0 1, red + blue = magenta) or by using the gnuplot linestyle−1. (For instance, gnuplot's linestyle 3 corresponds to the ps file's /LT2.) Then you can edit the colors and dashes by hand. I changed the original:
/LT0 { PL [] 1 0 0 DL } def
/LT1 { PL [4 dl 2 dl] 0 1 0 DL } def
/LT3 { PL [1 dl 1.5 dl] 1 0 1 DL } def
into this:
/LT0 { PL [] 0 0 1 DL } def
/LT1 { PL [4 dl 2 dl] 0 0 0 DL } def
/LT3 { PL [] 0 0 0 DL } def
The other /LTs I left unchanged. (I don't know what they're used for anyway.) /LTw, /LTb, and /LTa are for the grid lines and such.
To convert the PostScript file to PNG:
- Open it in the GIMP (make sure you have ghostscript installed! - Windows instructions)
- Enter 500 under Resolution (it doesn't say "DPI" but I think that's what it means)
- Uncheck Try bounding box (since the bounding box cuts off the edge, unfortunately. You can try with the bounding box first.)
- Enter large values for Width and Height
- Check Color
- Check Strong anti-aliasing for both graphics and text
- Crop off extra whitespace (Shift+C if you can't find it in the toolbox)
- Possibly need to rotate it: Click Image → Transform → Rotate 90 degrees clockwise
Filters → Blur → Gaussian blur at 2.0 px (No need to blur if you use strong anti-aliasing during conversion. I see no significant difference between end results.)
- Image → Scale Image...
- Width and Height at 25%
- Cubic interpolation
- You can view at normal size if you want by pressing 1, Ctrl+E
- Save as Negative differential resistance.png
