Standard Graphics Environments

Genstat comes with 6 standard graphics environments which set up the standard look and feel of the plots created by the Genstat menus. This sets the default fonts, colours, symbols, line styles and axes used by the menus.

You can create and select graphics environments using the Tools | Graphics environments menu.

You can create and load graphics environment files in the command language using the DLOAD and DSAVE directives.

The 6 standard environments are described below:

Genstat default environment The server’s default settings using crosses for symbols and standard size fonts.
