PLOTIT Macro Options Used in This Book

% PLOTIT Macro Options Used in This Book

Most of the examples in this book that invoke the %PLOTIT macro are created with a specific set of options. The graphics are generated by using a special macro variable called plotitop .

The code you see in the examples creates the color graphics that appear in the online (CD) version of the manual. A slightly different set of options and statements are used to create the black-and-white graphics that appear in the printed version of the book.

To create the online (color) version of the graphic output, the plotitop variable is defined as follows .

  %let plotitop = gopts   = gsfmode = replace   gaccess = gsasfile device = gif   hsize   = 5.63     vsize  = 3.5   cback   = white,   cframe  = ligr,   color   = black,   colors  = red blue white,   options = noclip expand, post=myplot.gif;  

To create the black-and-white version of the graphic output, which appears in the printed version of the manual, the plotitop variable is defined as follows:

  %let plotitop = gopts   = gsfmode = replace   gaccess = gsasfile device = pslepsf   hsize   = 5.63     vsize  = 3.5   cback   = white,   color   = black,   colors  = black,   options = noclip border expand, post=myplot.ps;
