It is possible to overlay either an experimental spectrum (complete with a frequency and intensity scale) or a bitmap (a picture of the spectrum where no frequency scale is available) into PGOPHER. The data can come from the clipboard (i.e. Copy and Paste from another application) or a file. In either case you can make adding, rather than replacing, a spectrum the default by checking the File, Merge menu item.
.txt,.csv,.dat | Text files - PGOPHER
is reasonably flexible as to the text
file formats it can handle; it expects sets of (frequency, intensity
pairs), one per line. Multiple values for intensities can also be given
and appear as multiple spectra. |
.jdx,.dx,.jcm | JCAMP-DX format - PGOPHER can handle most varieties |

HITRAN line list. When loaded as
an overlay the just the line position and intensity are taken from the
file. |
.drv | Drive files - PGOPHER can handle these directly, or via the clipboard from DRIVE. |

PGOPHER can also handle bitmaps, for cases where only a picture of the spectrum is available instead of the raw data. In this case, the frequency scale must be set manually from the Bitmap Overlay window. |
