The graphics tools control labeling and titling of graphs and +interactive formatting. The user changes the defaults via colon commands +and with cursor keys. The windowing options are usually entered with the +'w' key from an application program but other keys may be used instead. +Not all of the formatting options may be available in a particular +application; for example the graph type and mark type options. Check the +documentation for the application program. Some applications set the +values every time the graph is redraw so any user changes will be +overridden. + +The title block consists of a system identification banner, a parameter +string, a title string, a subtitle string, and a comment string in +that order. The \fIdrawtitle\fR parameter can be used to turn off all +the title block. There are parameters to control each of the +parts of the title block. The \fIsubtitle\fR and \fIcomments\fR +parameters are rarely used by applications and so may be used to +annotate graphs. The x and y labels consist of label and units strings. +The \fIdrawxlabels\fR and \fIdrawylabels\fR parameters can be used to +turn off both parts of the axis labels. +.ih +WINDOW COMMANDS +The following keystroke cursor commands may be available in an application. + +.nf +a Autoscale x and y axes +b Set bottom edge of window +c Center window at cursor position +d Shift window down +e Expand window (mark lower left and upper right of new window) +f Flip x axis +g Flip y axis +j Set left edge of window +k Set right edge of window +l Shift window left +m Autoscale x axis +n Autoscale y axis +p Pan x and y axes about cursor +r Shift window right +t Set top edge of window +u Shift window up +x Zoom x axis about cursor +y Zoom y axis about cursor +z Zoom x and y axes about cursor +.fi +.ih +COLON COMMANDS +.nf +:/help Print help menu +:/redraw Redraw the graph + +:/drawtitle [yes|no] Draw title block? +:/sysid [yes|no] Include the standard IRAF user/date banner? +:/parameters string Parameter string (usual set by application) +:/title string Title +:/subtitle string Subtitle +:/comments string Comments + +:/type string Type of graph (line, hist, or mark) +:/mark string Mark type (point, box, plus, cross, diamond, + hline, vline, hebar, vebar, circle) +:/line [0-9] Line style +:/color [0-9] Line or mark color + +:/drawxlabels [yes|no] Draw X axis label? +:/xlabel string Label for X axis +:/xunits string Units for X axis +:/xsize size Size of marks along the X axis +:/xtransform type X coordinate transform type (linear or logarithmic) +:/xwindow x1 x2 X graph window (INDEF defaults to min or max) +:/xflip [yes|no] Flip X axis + +:/drawylabels [yes|no] Draw Y axis label? +:/ylabel string Label for Y axis +:/yunits string Units for Y axis +:/ysize size Size of marks along the Y axis +:/ytransform type Y coordinate transform type (linear or logarithmic) +:/ywindow y1 y2 Y graph window (INDEF defaults to min or max) +:/yflip [yes|no] Flip Y axis + +:/transpose Transpose the graph axes + +Format changes do not take effect until the graph is redrawn. +.fi +.endhelp |
