You can click on any example image in the gallery to see more. Prefab examplesFor .ig >> prefab examples, you will arrive at the prefab's man page and you can view additional examples, along with the commands that were used. <h2>Script examples</h2> For <b>script</b> examples, you will see the image with the <b>ploticus</b> script that generated the image. <b>Are the script files HTML?</b> Not really. They are <a href="../doc/scripts.html">ploticus script files</a>. They are named with an <b>.htm</b> suffix and contain some HTML tags, to allow them to look nice when displayed in your web browser. Ploticus ignores the HTML tags. <p> <b>Script file names:</B> can be anything, although a <b>.p</b>, <b>.pl</b>, <b>.pls</b> or <b>.htm</b> suffix is recommended. <p> <br> <b>To download a script</b> that you are viewing in your browser, use your browser's <b>File/Save As</b> menu button. The result should be HTML ("Source"). The downloaded file will be placed in your local current working directory (the directory where you started your browser). If the script references other files (e.g. a data file), you will need to download those as well (a link should be provided). <br> <p> <br> <b>To try ploticus on your own system</b>: After you have <a href="../doc/Download.html">downloaded</a> the software, suppose you then downloaded the ploticus script called <b>lineplot1.htm</b> <p> <li>To create a GIF file (lineplot1.gif), type this command: <center><b>pl -gif lineplot1.htm</b></center> <p> <li>To create an EPS file (lineplot1.eps), type: <center><b>pl -eps lineplot1.htm</b></center> <p> <li>To create paginated PostScript, and send it directly to your printer, type: <center><b>pl -ps lineplot1.htm | lp</b></center> <p> <li>To view on an X11 display, type: <center><b>pl -x11 lineplot1.htm</b></center> |
