5.9.3. - Setting values
The values in the tables above select the respective alternate modes for each plot feature via the three (or, in 3D mode, four) plot-type codings, which are normally entered as arguments on the command line. Each of the codings -- one for the overall plot and one for each axis -- is the sum of the values associated with the alternate modes in the tables. A zero for any feature chooses the default mode, so you only include values for those alternate modes you want to select.
Entering 1040 for an axis, for instance, selects no numbering (16) and no tick marks inside the axis (1024). Other features are set to the usual mode. Entering a zero means all the usual modes are used. If you enter
. for a plot-type number, C-PLOT
will use the previous value for that plot type and not prompt for
additional information.
You can turn off a feature by entering its value preceded by
+ or
-. A
+ turns on the alternate mode.
A
- restores
the usual mode.
For instance, entering
ty . +8 .
turns on
logarithmic axis mode for the
y-axis
without affecting any
previously selected alternate mode.
You can code values for the three plot-type numbers in decimal, octal or hexadecimal. For octal, precede the number by
0. For hexadecimal,
precede the number by
0x. C-PLOT will
show the coding for each set of features using the most recent coding
type.
