6.7. - se set parameters
allows you to control certain plot parameters.
se se dash [dash_length] se spacing [vert_spaces] se tl [tick_length_percent] se xtl [x_tick_length_percent] se ytl [y_tick_length_percent] se ztl [z_tick_length_percent] se do_dir [cmd_file_directory] se fn_dir [function_directory] se gd_dir [data_directory] se sigfig [number_of_digits]The
se command lets you change the values of several C-PLOT
parameters.
If you type
se by itself, you will be prompted to
enter values for each of the settable parameters.
You can then type
a new value or enter
<return> to use the current value.
If you type
se and the name of a settable parameter, you will
be prompted for a new value for just that parameter.
You also can
directly type the parameter name and value on the command line.
The settable parameters currently are:
dash -- controls the pattern length of the dashed and dotted
lines drawn when the plot symbol is
A, B, C, D, E or
F. The default pattern length is 1 C-PLOT
millimeter.
The dash-length value is restored to the default value
when you enter the
reset
command,
re. spacing -- controls the spacing used between lines of text
drawn as annotation or as the plot key.
The units of this parameter
are the height of the text.
The default value -- 1.5 times the
text height -- is restored when you enter the
reset
command,
re. tl -- lets you control the length of the tick marks.
The
value specifies the length of the long tick marks as a percentage
of the length of the longest axis.
By entering a value for
tl, you turn on the mode where the tick marks for all the axes are the
same length.
This mode is the default and is set by the
reset
command,
re, as is the default value of 1.5 percent.
xtl, ytl, ztl -- let you control the lengths of the tick
marks for each axis independently of the other axes.
The value is
the percentage of the length of the axis along the direction the tick
marks point.
By entering a value for any of these parameters, you
turn on the mode where the tick marks for each axis are scaled independently.
The
reset
command,
re, turns off this mode.
do_dir -- contains the name of the directory used to look
for command files with the
do command when a file isn't in the
current directory or you haven't specified a path name that contains
a slash character.
The default value is taken from the value of the
environment variable
CPLOT_DO_DIR, if that exists.
Otherwise,
the default value is
$CPLOTHOME/cmdfiles.
The parameter
may contain a colon-separated list of directories, in which case each
directory is checked in turn for the file.
The value of
do_dir is not changed by the
reset
command,
re. fn_dir -- contains the name of the directory to use for private
user functions with the
fn command.
The default value is taken
from the value of the environment variable
CPLOT_FN_DIR, if
that exists.
Otherwise, the default value is
$HOME//functions.
The value of
fn_dir is not changed by the
reset
command,
re. gd_dir -- contains the name of the directory used to look
for data files with the
gd command when a file isn't in the
current directory and you haven't specified a path name that contains
a slash character.
The default value is taken from the value of the
environment variable
CPLOT_GD_DIR, if that exists.
Otherwise,
the default value is
., the current directory.
The parameter
may contain a colon-separated list of directories, in which case each
directory is checked in turn for the file.
The value of
gd_dir is not changed by the
reset
command,
re. sigfig -- controls the maximum number of significant
figures contained in the axis numbers printed on the plot.
The
default value is six significant figures.
The reset command,
re, restores the default value.
