Introduction

xmgr provides a command line interface and the ability to save plot parameters in a file for later retrieval. The syntax for the command line interpreter and parameter files is the same. It is instructive to read a parameter file into the command line interpreter and press the `Replay' button to verify this feature.

Reference

Case is ignored by the command line interpreter.

Description of parameters:

color

integer value from 0 to 29.

string

double quote enclosed character string.

integer

any integer >= 0

number

any floating point value >= 0.0

expr

any expression (includes negative floating point values)

onoff

ON or OFF

torf

TRUE or FALSE

setnum

Set descriptor in the form Sn where n is the number of the set.

graphno

Graph descriptor in the form Gn where n is the number of the graph.

direction

One of UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, IN, OUT.

opchoice

One of TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, or RIGHT.

formatchoice

One of:

DECIMAL - 0.0
EXPONENTIAL - 0e+-0
POWER - 1010
GENERAL - varies between 0.0 and 0e+0
DDMMYY - requires data in Julian date format
MMDDYY - requires data in Julian date format
MMYY - requires data in Julian date format
MMDD - requires data in Julian date format
MONTHDAY - requires data in Julian date format
DAYMONTH - requires data in Julian date format
MONTHS - requires data in Julian date format
MONTHL - requires data in Julian date format
DAYOFWEEKS - requires data in Julian date format
DAYOFWEEKL - requires data in Julian date format
DAYOFYEAR - requires data in Julian date format
HMS - requires data in Degrees format
MMDDHMS - requires data in Degrees format
MMDDYYHMS - requires data in Degrees format
DEGREESLON - requires data in Degrees format
DEGREESMMLON - requires data in Degrees format
DEGREESMMSSLON - requires data in Degrees format
MMSSLON - requires data in Degrees format
DEGREESLAT - requires data in Degrees format
DEGREESMMLAT - requires data in Degrees format
DEGREESMMSSLAT - requires data in Degrees format
MMSSLAT - requires data in Degrees format
The Julian date format is the long form. There are 2 programs in the subdirectory aux/ that can be used to convert data from Gregorian to Julian and vice versa. The Degrees format is for latitude and longitude. Below the equator latitudes are negative. Longitude is assumed positive east of Greenwich and negative to the west.

EXIT

Abruptly leave xmgr.

Devices

In the discussion to follow, printer refers to one of:

PSMONOP - PostScript portrait.
PSMONOL - PostScript landscape
MIFP - Maker Interchange Format portrait.
MIFL - Maker Interchange Format landscape.
HPGLP - HPGL portrait.
HPGLL - HPGL landscape.
FILE - print to a file rather than to the device.
HARDCOPY - the current hardcopy device.

PRINT printer string
Set the printer command string to string.
Example:
print psmonop "lpr -Pps"
PRINT TO HARDCOPY
Spool hardcopy output to the printer. This command sets the output destination, but does not generate a hardcopy, see the HARDCOPY command.
PRINT TO FILE
Spool hardcopy output to a file, using the current value of the printer file string (see PRINT TO string above). This command sets the output destination, but does not generate a hardcopy, see the HARDCOPY command.
PRINT TO FILE string
Spool hardcopy output to a file named string. This command sets the output destination, but does not generate a file, see the HARDCOPY command.
Example:
print to file "hardcopy.out"
PRINT TO printer
Set the hardcopy device to printer.
HARDCOPY
Print to the current hardcopy device or file.
DEVICE integer
Set the screen device to integer. At the present time 0 (the X server) is the only value.

Display
REDRAW
Refresh the display.
AUTO REDRAW onoff
Toggle the automatic redrawing of the display.
BACKGROUND COLOR color
Set the background color of the drawing area.
CMAP color, integer, integer, integer
Set the RGB values of a colormap entry. The value of color ranges from 2 to 29, The three integer values following the color number are values from 0 to 255 and represent red, green, and blue resp. Colors 0 and 1 are black and white (reversed if the -rvideo command line option was selected), and cannot be changed. Xmgr presently dumps core when using this command after startup, colormap entries can be initialized only.
Example:
To set colormap entry 5, use
cmap 5, 0, 0, 255
This sets color 5 to solid blue.
PAGE direction
Page left, right, up, down, in. out.
PAGE integer
Set the amount of scrolling, and integer value giving the amount of scroll in percent of the graph scaling. For example:
PAGE 100
would set the amount to scroll left, right, up, down to 100 percent of the graph axis scaling.
PAGE INOUT integer
Set the amount to increase or decrease the graph scaling when using the In/Out buttons on the main panel. An integer value expressing the percent to expand or shrink.
LINK PAGE onoff
Toggle linked scrolling. Linked scrolling affects the scroll buttons on the main panel, when linked scrolling is on, all graphs are scrolled simultaneously. Linked scrolling OFF makes scrolling affect the current graph only.

Set operations

Block data

The two block data commands allow block data to be read and sets formed from the
active set of block data.
READ BLOCK string

BLOCK xytype string
Create a set of type xytype using columns coded in string. String describes columns as: "c1:c2:..."
Where c1, c2, ... are the numbers of the columns to use in the construction of the set from the block data.
Examples:
Create a set with error bars using x from column 1, y from column 2 and the errors in column 5:.
read block "block2.dat"
block xydy "1:2:5"
Create an XY type data set from columns 7 and 2.

Sets

Setnum, in the following descriptions, refer to the symbolic name of each set, i.e., the letter `s' followed by the integer number of the set. S0 would refer to set 0, s1 to set 1, etc. The following commands for setting set parameters have two prefixes, GRAPHS and SETS, that allow the setting to be made for all graphs, all sets, or a given set in all graphs. So, to set the line width for set 0 to be 3 in all graphs that have a set 0 active, the command would be:
graphs s0 linewidth 3
Likewise, to set the line width for all sets in the current graph, give the command:
sets linewidth 3
To set the line width for all sets in all graphs to 3, execute:
graphs sets linewidth 3
setnum ON
setnum IGNORE
Toggle the active/inactive status of sets. This can be used to force xmgr to ignore a set(s), even though data are still attached to the set. For example, assuming S0 is an active set:
S0 ignore
will allow xmgr to ignore S0 for all purposes, except any operation that kills a set. Autoscaling will ignore this set, etc - in effect, S0 is dead. To bring it back to life:
S0 on
will reintroduce the set with its data intact. This operation may be performed in either Edit/Set operations/De-activate or in the File/Status popup.

Graph axes

The are two axes in each coordinate direction. In the case of the X coordinate direction, there is one that follows the world scaling, one at Y = 0 and another that may be used to display an alternate scale. The names used by xmgr to refer to these axes are, XAXIS, ZEROXAXIS, respectively. Likewise along Y there is the YAXIS, ZEROYAXIS. There are names that can be used to refer to all the axes along a coordinate direction or to both directions or to all graphs, these being AXES (both coordinate directions, current graph), XAXES (along X in the current graph), YAXES (along Y in the current graph), and preceeding these with the key word GRAPHS, will cause the setting to be made throughout all the active graphs.
