SET_PLOT_OPTIONS

You are prompted for and can toggle on (Y) or off (N) the plotting of some options on all subsequently generated diagrams.

For the Always initiate POST on re-entering prompt, the default is Y which implies that the POST module automatically reinitiates whenever the POLY3 workspace is changed upon re-entering. If answered N the same diagram axis variables are kept even if the workspaces in the POLY module are read from or written to a *.POLY3 file. The N answer is useful when there are several sets of *.POLY3 files with the same calculation but for different sets of model parameters.

For the Always solid line prompt, the default answer is N which means that the POST module plots solid lines for stable phases but dashed lines for metastable phases. This is normally for plotting property diagram after a STEPPING calculation; however, when there is a metastable extrapolation in a phase region on a phase diagram after a MAPPING calculation, this is also enforced. When the alternative answer Y is chosen, all the lines are always plotted in solid lines.

Syntax	set_plot_options
Prompts	Plot header /Y/: Toggle the plotting of the header text above a diagram.
	Plot logo /Y/: Toggle the plotting of the Thermo‑Calc logo at the lower-left corner of a diagram.
	Plot footer /Y/: Toggle the plotting of the footer identifier text at the right margin of a diagram.
	White-Contoured-PS-CHARS /Y/: By default, the PostScript characters are written as a white contoured status.
	Plot remote exponent(s) /Y/: By default the remote exponent on the axis is plotted.
	Plot symbols at node points /0/: <#> This makes it possible to plot symbols at the node points on plotted lines on a diagram.
	Symbol size /.1/: <.#> Set the size of symbols which are plotted at the node points.
	Write condition? /Y/: By default, the initial equilibrium conditions for the current calculations are automatically plotted at the upper-left corner as a part of the header. If you enter N, the calculated conditions are not included on a plotted diagram.
	Write database name? /Y/: By default, the primary database (not appended ones) used in the current calculations are plotted at the upper-left corner as a part of the header. If you enter N, the database name is not included on a plotted diagram.
	Always initiate POST on re-entering: /Y/: By default the POST module automatically reinitiates whenever the POLY3 workspaces are changed upon re-entering. If you enter N, the same diagram axis variables are kept even if the workspaces in the POLY module is read from or written to a *.POLY3 file. This can be useful when there are several sets of *.POLY3 files with the same calculation but for different set of model parameters.
	Always solid line: /N/: By default the POST module plots solid lines for stable phases and dashed lines for metastable phases. This is normally for plotting property diagrams after a STEPPING calculation. However, when there is a metastable extrapolation in a phase region on a phase diagram after a MAPPING calculation, this is also enforced. Enter Y to always plot solid lines in this case, for example.
