SAC Command Reference Manual

PLOT

SUMMARY

Generates a single-trace single-window plot.

SYNTAX

PLOT {PRINT {pname} }

INPUT

PRINT {pname}:Prints the resulting plot to the printer named in pname, or to the default printer if pname is not used. (This makes use of the SGF capability.)

DESCRIPTION

Each data file is displayed in a separate plot. The total size of the plot is determined by the current viewport (see XVPORT and VPORT.) The y axis limits for each plot can be scaled to the data file's extrema or they can have fixed limits. See the YLIM command for details. The x axis limits are controlled by the XLIM command. A user controllable file identification (see FILEID) is generated for each file in the plot. Time picks can be displayed (see PICKS).

If you are plotting to a graphics terminal or workstation, SAC will pause between each plot to give you an opportunity to examine the plot. It will type "Waiting" in the text area and wait for your response. You can type a carriage-return to see the next plot, the keyword "go" (or "g") to plot the remainder of the files without pausing, or the keyword "kill" (or "k") to not plot the remainder of the files at all.

ERROR MESSAGES
