Purpose
Set global graphic attributes
Parameters
fixscale
-
The picture is mapped onto the picture space
(display screen or plot area) true to scale,
preserving the original ratio of picture width
and height ('fixed aspect ratio').
Not yet implemented.
distorted
-
The picture will cover the entire picture
space independent of the original aspect
ratio, possibly causing a distorted output.
All SATAN pictures are originally created with
a width of 360 mm and a height of 270 mm.
Startup scaling mode is distorted
.
Not yet implemented.
size(p)
-
For plotters only: Global size (width and
height) of the plot area, given by two numbers
interpreted as millimeters or by a DIN format
specification. If either width or height are
omitted, the missing length is calculated
using the original picture aspect ratio.
Startup default is a size of 240 by 180 mm.
agfp(dsn)
-
Data set name for AGF-plotfiles.
Obsolete.
gnom(dsn)
-
Data set name for GNOM objects.
Obsolete.
colour(c)
-
List of up to ten system colour indices, which
are assigned to the logical numbers 1 to 10
(colour look-up table).
Valid system colour indices are
- 0 background
- 1 black / white
- 2 red
- 3 green
- 4 blue
- 5 cyan (turquoise)
- 6 magenta (purple)
- 7 yellow
Alternatively, direct RGB compositions can be used.
width(w)
-
List of up to ten line widths in units of
millimeters (0 means the smallest available
width), which are assigned to the logical numbers 1 to 10
(width look-up table).
line(l)
-
List of up to ten system line type indices,
which are assigned to the logical numbers
1 to 10 (line type look-up table).
Valid line types are
- l solid
- d dashed
- p dotted
- m dash-dotted
- n none
marker(m)
-
List of up to ten system marker indices, which
are assigned to the logical numbers 1 to 10
(marker look-up table).
Some valid symbol numbers are
msize(s)
-
List of up to ten marker sizes in units of
millimeters assigned to the logical marker
numbers 1 to 10.
By this keyword the marker sizes can directly
be specified, using non-integer values and
without affecting the other attributes.
font(f)
-
List of up to ten system text font indices,
which are assigned to the logical numbers
1 to 10 (text font look-up table).
Not yet implemented.
debug
-
Debug switch. Lots of output !
Function
Remarks
The logical no. 1 is internally used for some
graphic attributes like colour, width, and text
font, of parts of SATAN displays.
By default, the scatter plots of the live display are drawn using the logical marker no. 1.
Thus a change of marker no. 1 may considerably
slow down the execution of the live display.
Note: Width, marker size, and dash and gap
length of lines, are absolute quantities; they
are not transformed according to the actual
plot size.
If the command is given without any keyword,
the actual attributes and look-up tables are
listed.
Examples
DATTR / line(,,d) colour(,r,)
Set the third entry in the linetype lookup table to dashed
and the second entry in the colour lookup table to red
.
