QPLOT(1ICD)

NAME
qplot - place a plot in the plot queue

SYNOPSIS
qplot format [arguments] ...

DESCRIPTION
Qplot places plots in the plot queue for spooling to an hp7586B plotter. It uses standard as input a file named "plotfile", which is produced by the program preplot. If the plot queue is not held (use pltq to display entries and state) and there are enough plots placed in the queue (enough for filling A1 or A0 size) the plots are automatically plotted. You can delete plots from the queue with the program pltrm, specifying as argument the job identification. If there is no plot queue in use on the system, you should use the program hpnew.
The paper formats you can specify are:
(no default allowed)
	A0	paper format
	A1	paper format
	A2	paper format
	A3	paper format
	A4	paper format
	M2	paper format (privileged)

ARGUMENTS
Optional arguments are: (Note: uu = user units)
mm=SCF	millimeter mapping, 1 mm == SCF uu.
	(default: no mm mapping, mapping to fit full
	 paper format size)
Q	square paper format size in stead of full area.
Sn	plotter Speed 'n' cm/s
	(default: taken from file "pdat_hpq")
sp=SPX,SPY
	Startpoint of plotarea SPX,SPY user units
	(default: 'min' entry in plotfile)
wd=WDX,WDY
	Window of plotarea WDX,WDY user units
	(default: delta's of 'min' and 'max' entries in plotfile)
lay=l1[,l2[,..]]
	Plot only the specified layers
-lay=l1[,l2[,..]]
	Plot all layers except the specified ones
	(default: all layers are plotted)
-a	no Axis       (default: Axis are plotted)
-n	no Name text  (default: Name text is plotted)
-s	no Scale text (default: Scale ,,  ,,   ,,   )
+e	add Edges around paper format
	(default: no Edges around paper format)
+l	plot layer codes in upper-right corner
+h=HTX	add Heading text at line before name text
+p=PTX	add Prefix text before name text
	(note: one blank is always inserted between
	prefix text and name text)
	Examples:  +h="Netw. Th., Group 1" +p=Pattern:
if=[IFN]
	Use IFN as input file in stead of "plotfile".
	If no filename is given "stdin" is used.
V	Special feature, produces no output, but used for
	verification of plotdata and displays info about
	plotsize and scaling factor.
	(Note:  1 mm == 40 mach.units).
T	Translate figure 90 degrees.
-v	Do a syntax check only.
