5.9. - ty select type of plot
lets you control many details of how the plot looks, such as whether to use linear or logarithmic axes and how to number and put tick marks on the axes.
ty ty x_type y_type overall_type or ty x_type y_type z_type overall_typeThe
ty command allows you to format plots interactively or by
entering a simple set of codes.
C-PLOT encodes
the format for a plot in three or four numerical flags.
The first
flag describes the
x
axis.
The second controls the
y
axis.
The third, in 3D mode, controls the
z
axis.
The last
selects overall plot features.
There are three ways to select values
for the flags: If you know these numbers you can enter them as arguments
to the
ty command.
If you know the numbers but don't remember
the order in which to enter them,
ty will prompt for them one
at a time.
Finally, if you don't know the appropriate numbers, you
can select one feature at a time as prompted.
C-PLOT
will display the encoded numbers after you have made your format choices
so you can select the same features more quickly next time.
(Instructions
for working with the coding scheme are given below.)
The two tables that follow list features controlled by
ty. The
value column gives the numerical code for the alternate mode shown
for each feature.
(The default mode in each case has a value of zero.)
The octal column is an alternative notation for each value.
Hexadecimal
notation also is recognized (see below).
The first table presents
the options you can select that control the overall plot type.
- 5.9.1. - Axis type
5.9.2. - Overall plot type
5.9.3. - Setting values
