PL - Plot doc. file data into CNT meta-file

(7/16/96)

PURPOSE

Prepares plot from selected columns of a document file. One column of registers stored in document file may be assigned to the X axis, and one or more different columns to the Y axis of the plot. The Y vs X profiles are plotted within the range of keys specified. A specification of 0 as the column number for X register results in the keys being assigned to the X axis.

USAGE

.OPERATION: PL

.DOCUMENT FILE: DOC001
[Enter the name of the document file of interest.]

.CONTOUR FILE: CNT001
[Enter name for CNT meta-file.]

.ENTER MAX. NUMBER OF CONTOURS EXPECTED: 500
[Use at least 200 here to be safe.]

.ENTER REGISTER NUMBER(S) FOR Y AXIS: 1,2
[Enter the register number(s) of interest.]

[In the above example, profiles of the contents of document registers in columns 1 and 2 will be drawn on the same plot.]

.ENTER REGISTER NUMBER FOR X AXIS: 0
[Enter the column number for the register plotted on the X axis. Column number 0 gives a plot of Y register(s) versus their keys.

.ENTER INITIAL AND FINAL KEY NUMBERS: 1 44
[Enter key range for registers being plotted.]

Lists bounds on Y axis of plot.

.ENTER NEW LOWER, UPPER Y AXIS BOUNDS OR <CR>:
[Can change Y axis bounds. To keep default enter <return>.]

Lists bounds on X axis of plot.

.ENTER NEW LOWER, UPPER X AXIS BOUNDS OR <CR>:
[Can change X axis bounds. To keep default enter <return>.]

.ENTER NEW AXIS LABEL UNIT AND TICKS / LABEL OR <CR> :
[Can change Y axis label unit or keep default]

Y axis label units listed.

.ENTER LABEL NO. TO EDIT. USE 0 FOR LABEL: 1

-1 TO RELIST ALL LABELS, OR <CR> TO CONTINUE: <CR> [Can change X axis label unit or keep default]

.ENTER NEW AXIS LABEL UNIT AND TICKS / LABEL OR <CR> :

X axis label units listed.

.ENTER LABEL NO. TO EDIT. USE 0 FOR LABEL: 1

-1 TO RELIST ALL LABELS, OR <CR> TO CONTINUE: <CR> [Can change X axis label unit or keep default.]

NOTES

  1. To convert CNT meta-file to Postscript use the 'CS DI PO' operation.

  2. To view the CNT meta-file use Web and 'Show contourfile'
