C-PLOT

Scientific Graphics and Data Analysis

1.1.8. - Commands



All C-PLOT commands, listed on the next two pages, are one- or two-letter mnemonics. Commands and parameters are shown in courier type. Italic parameters are to be replaced with the appropriate characters for the desired instruction. Optional parameters appear in square brackets following the mnemonics. When several parameters are shown separated by vertical lines, you use only one of them with the command. For commands that simply indicate options, consult the detailed command description for an explanation of the syntax.
