+DESCRIPTION
+
+A number of application tasks use the graphics tools in the "gtools"
+package. The graphics tools control labeling and titling of graphs and
+interactive formatting. The user changes the defaults via colon commands
+and with the window 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 formating 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 "notitle" 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 "subtitle" and "comments"
+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 "drawxlabels" and "drawylabels" parameters can be used to
+turn off both parts of the axis labels.
