Plot

     

Plotting with TV may not lead to sufficient results at the first attempt. Probably you will miss the inscription at the y-axis. The reason is that the frame width for left and right frames is set to 3 by default (see section 3.3 p. ). There are two ways to get sufficient plots.

The first way is to create a window with the name plot which has frame widths of 9 for the left and right border. To create the window enter the command:

tv$>$ window create simple plot

Another way is to change the frame widths of your window. You can do this with the command:

tv$>$ window setup frame width l$>$ r$>$ b$>$ t$>$

The most convenient format to plot your figure is the xfig-format because you can process and convert plot files with the program xfig. The plot is performed by pressing Px. Alternatively you can use the unix-format by pressing Pu. In both cases you will be queried a filename. CR at the filename prompt forces the standard filename for plots to be taken, this is composed from the spectrum name and a suffix defined by the wildcard (see section 3.12 p. ) for plots which is .fig by default.

A sample plot exported to ps via xfig is shown in figure 2.3 on page .
