plotc Man Page

The following man page describes how to use the shell script plotc.

NAME

plotc - a 2-D plotting program

SYNOPSIS

plotc [-a input8] [-b input9] [-o outps] [-g outdb] [-V] namelist

DESCRIPTION

plotc is a Bourne shell script used to run the plotting program plotc.ex. The namelist input to plotc.ex must be supplied in the file namelist, and is described in detail in the Plotc User's Manual.

OPTIONS

	-a		Links the file input8 to fort.8. This is the file used for the coordinates of the curves being plotted when IFILEC = 1.
	-b		Links the file input9 to fort.9. This is the file used for the coordinates of the symbol sets being plotted when IFILEP = 1.
	-o		Use outps as the name of the output PostScript file. The default is plotc.ps.
	-g		Use outdb as the name of the output debug file. The default is plotc.debug.

BUGS

The input parameter FONTS, which allows the user to specify the font to be used for plot titles, labels, legend, and text strings, is supported only for the PostScript plot. The input parameters ISIZEL, ISIZET, ISIZEG, and ISIZES, which allow the user to specify the size of characters in the labels, titles, legend, and strings, are supported only for the PostScript plot. Probably others yet to be discovered.
