- NAME
- gplot - graphics utility for the processing of CGM metafiles
-
- SYNTAX
- gplot [_o_p_t_i_o_n_s] _m_e_t_a_f_i_l_e [_o_u_t_f_i_l_e]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The _g_p_l_o_t command translates a CGM _m_e_t_a_f_i_l_e into input for a
- graphics device. The input is placed into the _o_u_t_f_i_l_e and
- in the absence of an outfile, it is sent to the stdout.
-
- OPTIONS
- The following flags are interpreted by _g_p_l_o_t.
-
- -bn Specifies the starting frame to be number n for
- addressable output media like videotape.
-
- -cn If the output device supports a hardware multiple
- copies command, gplot will produce n copies.
-
- -dd Specifies the output device, d. See Restrictions
- section for a list of acceptable devices.
-
- -C Specifies the input to be a clear text format CGM file,
- default is a binary format.
-
- -i The output is to be used in another file. This option
- is normally only used by GTEX when it is calling gplot
- to include a frame in the output.
-
- -fn Use font type n, (0 device fonts) (1 Hershey fonts)
- (2 PK raster fonts)
-
- -l Creates a listing file showing its interpretation of
- the CGM metafile.
-
- -mn Magnify the text by n.
-
- -pn Tells gplot to select individual pages, n. n can be
- individual pages, multiple page numbers separated by
- commas or a range, e.g. 7_9.
-
- -rn Rotate the image the specified number of degrees, n,
- counter clockwise from its default orientation.
-
- -sd Synonymous with -dd -t
- See Restrictions section for a list of acceptable dev-
- ices.
-
- -t Specifies that the controlling device is a terminal.
- Gplot will beep at the end of a page and pause awaiting
- a response. This option is implied by the -s option.
-
- -xn Moves the origin in the x direction by the specified
- amount, n, in inches. n is a real number.
-
- -yn Moves the origin in the y direction by the specified
- amount, n, in inches. n is a real number.
-
- -D Displays informational messages. Useful for debugging
- purposes.
-
- -I If indexing blocks are present gplot will display a short
- table of contents.
-
- -N Tells GPLOT to ignore indexing blocks on input, not to
- produce them on output.
-
- -Pn Overrides the default pixels per inch settings. The
- resolution of the output device is set to n pixels per
- inch.
-
- -S Ignore metric scaling and scale image to fit device.
-
- -Tt Where t is a string displays only those pictures which have
- t in the title.
-
- -Xn Overrides the default page width in inches for the out-
- put device. The new page width is set to n which is a
- real number.
-
- -Yn Overrides the default page height in inches for the
- output device. The new page height is set to n which
- is a real number.
