Description
High-resolution graphics in Genstat takes place in a “graphics environment” that specifies exactly how the display is produced. So it controls aspects like whether or not boxes are drawn around the plots, the positioning of the plots on the graphics frame, the styles of axes, and the colours and symbols of points. There are commands to modify all of these aspects, so that you can customize your graphs as required for a particular situation:
FRAME |
defines the positions of the plotting windows within the graphics frame (or screen) |
|---|---|
XAXIS |
defines the x-axis in a window |
YAXIS |
defines the y-axis in a window |
ZAXIS |
defines the z-axis in a window |
PEN |
defines properties of the graphics “pens” |
COLOUR |
defines the colour map |
To simplify the future plotting of graphs in the same style, the DSAVE directive allows you to save the current settings of the graphics environment to an external file. You can then use the DLOAD directive to read them back into Genstat, so that you can produce similar plots in future.
The FILE parameter gives the name of the file in which to save the settings. You can also set the DESCRIPTION parameter to a text containing a one-line description of the settings. This could be used, for example, to note that they were designed for a particular type of publication or report.
Options: none.
