5.12. - wi select plot window
lets you place plots anywhere on the page and lets you draw them in any size rectangle that will fit on the page. You can put multiple plots on a single page by choosing suitable windows for each.
wi wi # wi width height wi vert_offset width height or wi horz_offset vert_offset width heightWith no arguments and with no pen plotter initialized,
wi will
display the current window size and position.
A single argument will
set the plot size according to the following coding:
| ||||||||||||||||||
Two arguments will specify the width and height of the plot. The first argument is the width, the second the height.
If there are three arguments, the first value represents the distance from the bottom of the drawing area to the bottom of the plot window. The second and third arguments are the width and height. The plots are drawn centered horizontally on the page.
If there are four arguments, the first value is the distance from the left edge of the drawing area to the left edge of the plot window. The second value is the distance from the bottom of the drawing area to the bottom of the plot. The third argument is the width of the plot and the fourth argument is its height.
If
vert_offset
or
horz_offset
are negative, they represent
offsets from the top or right side of the plot window to the top or
right side of the drawing area.
The offset argument -0
places
the plot window adjacent to the corresponding edge of the drawing
area.
Select plot window, like annotate and draw key (see
pn and
zn, pk and
zk, Chapter 6), uses
pen-plotter centimeter units.
The units correspond to actual centimeters
on the pen plotter.
Centimeter units on the graphics filter device
will only be exact if you have selected the appropriate scaling factors
using the
sc command (see Chapter 9).
Using four arguments to
wi, you have complete control over the
position and size of the plot and can easily place multiple plots
on a page, as shown in the following example:
