C-PLOT

Scientific Graphics and Data Analysis

6.6.1. - Plot title and labels





If you don't enter a unit string and if there is no scaling factor for the axis, there won't be any brackets. Certain plot-formatting options selected with the ty command affect how the scale factor is drawn: ty 64 selects parentheses around the scale factor. ty 1024 selects APS style. (See Chapter 5 for details.)

When you enter tx, the current text will be shown in parentheses. Entering nothing and pressing <return> will leave the current text unchanged. Typing \<return> will clear the current text.

The maximum number of characters in a title or label line is 256. Each character of a special sequence is counted, but spaces and tabs at the beginning of an entry will be disregarded unless the line begins with a \.

The text strings cannot be edited. They must be re-entered entirely. If you are using complicated subscripts, superscripts or other special sequences, you might find it more convenient to read the text in from a command file (see Chapter 10) created and edited with your favorite text editor.
