Bossert (he/him) - + +[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/plots-before)" raw="yes"]] + +A figure in a report is easy to copy—and surprisingly easy to detach +from the data, decisions and code that produced it. What would change if +the plot were a reproducible result of the document rather than an image +pasted into it? + +This talk develops a small report in Org mode, moving from a named table +to gnuplot figures and publication outputs. Working in Doom Emacs, I +will demonstrate direct table plotting, explicit plotting code with Org +Babel, and reusable figure styles through Noweb references. A single +corrected value provides the central demonstration: after re-execution, +the figure and calculated summary change together, while the +interpretation still requires human review. + +The workflow is guided by ROOT [1] —Robust, Open, Ongoing and +Time-tested— my framework for thinking about resilient technologies. +Rather than equating resilience with the age of a tool, I ask whether a +workflow can be inspected, understood, repaired and handed over. Keeping +data, plotting instructions and explanation connected is one practical +response. + +The talk also addresses the less glamorous parts of reproducibility: +hidden session state, stale results, external dependencies, output +formats and the difference between regenerating a figure and exporting a +document. + +Participants will leave with a small Org-based example and a pattern +they can adapt for research reports, teaching materials or personal +data. Basic familiarity with Org mode is helpful; no prior experience +with gnuplot is required. The demonstration uses Doom Emacs, but the +underlying workflow is not Doom-specific. + +[1] + +About the speaker: + +Lukas C. Bossert works in research data management at RWTH Aachen +University’s IT Center. The ROOT concept—Robust, Open, Ongoing and +Time-tested—asks how digital workflows can remain understandable, +maintainable and reusable. In “Plots with ROOTs,” Lukas demonstrates a +report-building workflow that keeps data, plotting instructions and +explanations connected through Emacs, Org and gnuplot. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/plots-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/plots-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + -- cgit v1.2.3
