Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Plotting airfoils from external files

[FC_Stevens]

Hello.

I am trying to include plots of airfoils in my report and have tried using this method:
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/airfoil-profiles/

When I try it I get a bunch of errors and have no success. I am completely new to latex and really do not know how to correct this. The way the airfoils are drawn and named is exactly how I want it in my report. The .dat files that contain the foil coordinates are basically two coulombs with x and y coordinates. It can also be converted to a plain .txt file if necessary. I have tried with the data files in a data subfolder and in the latex folder with no success. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Any alternative method will also be appreciated.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I use TeXstudio.

Thank you.

After delving deep I discovered that the data the OP used was probably not the same as the data he posted. Some of the files were not in the correct format (it had multiple spaces between the x and y coordinates). I have solved the problem.
