1 Executing WRplot

It is assumed that WRplot is installed on your system, with the aliases defined as described in Sect. 10. Note: Each WRplot user needs explicit permission to use that program.

manwrplot
 
displays this manual with ghostview at your screen.

The following commands execute WRplot:

wrplot
 
enters an interactive mode where the source file can be specified later.
wrplot filename
 
opens the WRplot-window on your screen and shows the first plot contained in the source file filename. Entering the return key in that (active) window opens the next plot in that file or closes the window if the end is reached. Note that the WRplot-window is designed for a quick inspection of data; it has no nice (PostScript) fonts, and cannot display encapsulated PS files (but indicates the BoundingBox of EPSF files in the place they would appear).
wrplot filename +
 
creates a PostScript file wrplot.ps.1 with the plot of the source file. If wrplot.ps.1 already exists, the trailing number is incremented. If the file contains more than one plot, each plot is written into an own wrplot.ps-file with incrementing trailing numbers. psappend combines all files *.ps found in the present work directory into one PS file total.ps with subsequent pages. The dps command removes all wrplot.ps.* files in the present work directory.
wrps filename[.plot]
 
means “WRplot-to-PS”. This command is designed for WRplot files containing only one plot. The extension of the WRplot-file must be .plot and can be omitted in the call. A PostScript file is generated which has the name of the source file, the extension being replaced by .ps.
wrmult filename nn [+
] 
is especially usefull for viewing quickly a WRplot file which contains a number of plots, each of about a “standard” size of 20cm × 15cm in landscape orientation. The first nn plots (nn = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12) of that file are scaled down and mounted onto one page. The trailing “+” option creates a wrplot.ps.* file.
ttw filename [f77 as132
] 
is a WRplot-based ascii-to-ps converter. The option “f77” supports the classical FORTRAN format by marking the columns 6 and 73. Option “as132” allows for long lines with 132 characters by producing landscape format. The output is written into the file ttw.ps. The command dttw removes all ttw debris.
