Other Commands

General

  • When plotting symbols representing various experimental data, it is important that the symbols are centered around the coordinate values.
  • The dollar sign $ as the first character of a line stands for a comment character, which means the whole line is ignored when plotting.

ATTRIBUTE

Use the ATTRIBUTE command to change the coordinates where text is displayed. The default is the lower left corner of the first character in the text.

CLIP

Use the CLIP command to change the default where all data outside the normalized coordinates zero and one are not plotted.

COLOR

If you are using a color device, use the COLOR command to change color of the lines. On some black and white devices, colors are simulated with different width and dashing of the lines.

INCLUDE

Use the INCLUDE command to create libraries with texts and include these in similar plots.

LINETYPE

Use the LINETYPE command to define line types as solid, long dashed, short dashed or dotted.
