POstscript
Controls writing of a PostScript file for hardcopy.
The file (the default name is sabplot.ps )
may be printed with PRINT.
POstscriptPOstscript { ON | OFfF } POSTSCRIPT mode is
ON, all graphics
commands are captured as PostScript commands.
A raster dump is made following a
COLOR,
ETCH, or
SLICE
ray traced image.
Vector graphics are written to the file as they are executed.
POstscript { BW | COlor [Grayscale] }
POSTSCRIPT COLOR mode,
the full color specification is written; vector graphics will
be printed in full color.
COLOR GREYSCALE causes
the color to be used to define a PostScript grey level;
vector graphics will be printed in a gray scale.
WhenBW is chosen,
all colored lines are drawn in black.
POstscript COMpress [ ON | OFf ]
POSTSCRIPT ON.
The mode is also set by the presence or absence of the
UNCOMPRESSED keyword on the the
POSTSCRIPT DUMP command.
POstscript DUmp [ UNcompressed ]
DUMP of the
graphics window (or current subwindow) in raster PostScript format.
The file will produce color plots on color PostScript printers
and will print a greyscale image on monochrome printers.
If DUMP is called when
the POSTSCRIPT mode is
OFF,
DUMP will open the
PostScript file (using either the default or the user-specified name),
dump the image, and close the file, leaving
POSTSCRIPT
in the OFF mode.
By default, the raster dump is run-length encoded (identical
pixels in a row are written once with a repeat factor),
resulting in significant savings in PostScript file size.
The UNCOMPRESSED option
to DUMP suppresses the
use of run-length encoding.
POstscript { FIlename | FF } name.ps name.ps
(the use of the .ps suffix is recommended).
If the file already exists, Sabrina will ask whether or not to
overwrite the file. The default output file is
sabplot.ps;
this default file is overwritten without querying the user.
Use of FF,
rather than FIle,
suppresses all querying.
POstscript HEightfactor FTop or
Center
is specified.
Top aligned text is moved down by
P
x F,
where P is the
LABEL POINT size
and F is the
Height Factor.
For center aligned text, the displacment is 1/2 of the
top aligned displacement.
POstscript LAbel POSTSCRIPT LABEL,
the lines following, up to the occurrence of . (period)
as the first non-blank character, are written to the PostScript file.
POstscript LAbel [ Point P |
Space S | Center | Left ] P points (default 20)
with S points spacing between lines;
S = 1.3
P is set by default
and each time P is set.
(216/S - 2)
lines will fit on the page.
Lines can be CENTER ed
or LEFT justified.
POstscript LAbel Font fontname Font is supported by
the target PostScript printer or viewer. The
Font need not be the same
as the screent font.
POstscript LW XX multiplies the line width of PostScript lines.
Smaller widths may be desired, for example, when a plot contains
lots of particle tracks.
POstscript SUbwindow { | ON |
OFf } SUBWINDOW state
determines whether the PostScript image reflects the
Subwindow structure of the graphics window or not.
With no argument, the state is toggled and the new value reported.
When the SUBWINDOW
mode is ON,
the PostScript plot will show the multiple images as
they appear in the the graphics area. The number of
individual images shown is determined by
POSTSCRIPT LIMIT.
When making a raster DUMP,
the image of the entire graphics area is captured.
When the SUBWINDOW mode is
OFF, the PostScript file
contains a single full scale plot of a subimage on each page.
With the DUMP command,
only the current subwindow image is written.
POstscript LImit N N images on a
single PostScript page. This is useful when the
SUBWINDOW mode is
ON.
POstscript { Whiteonwhite [ ON |
True | False ] } WHITEonWHITE
mode is False,
white lines are printed as black; if True , white lines are allowed.
If True or
False is omitted, the value is toggled.
