The show commands print to the terminal unless a file is given. For the spectrum parameters the index specification, "[#]", is optional. If absent the nearest spectrum to the cursor when the command is given is selected except that for the "units" command all spectra are selected. The index is either a number or the character *. The latter applies the command to all the spectra. :show Show spectrum parameters (file optional) :vshow Show verbose parameters (file optional) :step Set or show step :fraction Set or show autolayout fraction :label Set or show label type (none|imtitle|imname|index|user) :move[#] Move spectrum to new index position :shift[#|*] Shift spectra by adding to index :w0[#|*] Set or show zero point wavelength :wpc[#|*] Set or show wavelength per channel :velocity[#|*] Set or show radial velocity (km/s) :redshift[#|*] Set or show redshift :offset[#|*] Set or show intensity offset :scale[#|*] Set or show intensity scale :xlpos[#|*] Set or show X label position :ylpos[#|*] Set or show Y label position :ptype[#|*] Set or show plotting type :color[#|*] Set or show color (1-9) :ulabel[#|*] Set or show user labels :units[#|*] Change coordinate units (see below) :/title Set the title of the graph :/xlabel Set the X label of the graph :/ylabel Set the Y label of the graph :/xwindow Set the X graph range (use INDEF for autoscaling) :/ywindow Set the X graph range (use INDEF for autoscaling) Examples: w0 Print value of wavelength zero point w0 4010 Set wavelength zero point of spectrum nearest the cursor w0[3] 4010 Set wavelength zero point of spectrum with index 3 w0[*] 4010 Set wavelength zero point of all spectra UNITS The units are specified by strings having a unit type from the list below along with the possible modifiers, "inverse", to select the inverse of the unit and "log" to select logarithmic units. The various identifiers may be abbreviated as words but the syntax is not sophisticated enough to recognized standard scientific abbreviations such as mm for millimeter. angstroms - Wavelength in Angstroms nanometers - Wavelength in nanometers millimicrons - Wavelength in millimicrons microns - Wavelength in microns millimeters - Wavelength in millimeters centimeter - Wavelength in centimeters meters - Wavelength in meters hertz - Frequency in hertz (cycles per second) kilohertz - Frequency in kilohertz megahertz - Frequency in megahertz gigahertz - Frequency in gigahertz m/s - Velocity in meters per second km/s - Velocity in kilometers per second ev - Energy in electron volts kev - Energy in kilo electron volts mev - Energy in mega electron volts z - Redshift The velocity and redshift units require a trailing value and unit defining the velocity zero point. For example to plot velocity relative to a wavelength of 1 micron the unit string would be: km/s 1 micron The syntax :units[#] km/s is available to plot different (or the same) spectrum with different features at zero velocity.
