Line Styles, Symbols, and Frame Layout

The default line style is solid for the first curve, dashed for the second, etc., with no symbols; in 4105 mode the first curve is black, the second red, etc. A given terminal or printer has at least 4 different dash styles; these look slightly different on different output devices. There are 6 colors, plus black.

O L

sets the line styles, symbol codes and symbol spacing. Setting the number of symbols to 0 puts a symbol at every point. The first symbol for each overlay is at a slightly different offset from the start of the curve.

O K

sets the color for each curve when you are generating a 4105 mode plot (color codes are ignored for 4014 plots).    

 
	Command[ ]? O K

	Colors: 0=none, 1=black, 2=red, 3=green, 4=blue, 5=cyan,

	     6=magenta, 7=yellow

	Text color (0-7)[1]? , 		!black

	Grid color (0-7)[1]? ,

	Line color  1[1]? ,

	Line color  2[2]? ,

O P

sets parameters that control frame placement on the page. The horizontal gap is the number of pixels between columns of frames. The vertical gap is the number of pixels between rows; if the vertical gap is less than 22, the frame titles are omitted.  

 
	Command[ ]? O P

	Maximum frames per column[3]? ,

	Horizontal gap between frames[80]? ,

	Vertical gap between frames[60]? ,

	Right margin[100]? ,

O LE

creates a legend for each curve in the selected frame(s).   The legend has a short line which is the same dash pattern and color as the data curve, and a text identifier for the curve. The identifier is the data element name, the shot number, or (for 2D data) the value of the z independent axis. The legend can be located in the top right corner inside the frame, in the top left corner, or outside the right edge.

 
	Command[]? O LE

	Set legend for frame[F*]? ,

	Legend: 1=top right, 2=top left, 3=outside right, 0=none

	Legend location[0]? 1
