GnuDraw script files
Included with GnuDraw are script/batch-files which simplify the use of
the output files with extension .plb.
The batchfiles are called passing along the filename (without
extension, under Windows), and optionally an indication of the output
type, font size and the size of the output graph.
The general format is
plb2x <filename> [<output type> <fontsize> <output size>]
with options
- <output type>
- Choice of scr, eps, epsc, fig, gif, png, tex for output
on the screen, in EPS format, in EPS format using colours, in XFig
format, as a GIF (some platforms only) or PNG file, or as a file which
can be included in a LaTeX document.
- <fontsize>
- Specify the fontsize; the default is 10 (tex) or 14 (eps, epsc,
fig). Other formats cannot change the fontsize easily.
- <output size>
- Specify the size of the output graph. This only works if the
original graph contains only one graphing window, else the size has to
be specified from Ox. Standard size is 1 1 (eps, epsc, fig,
tex, scr) or 640 480 (gif).
If no options are specified, the graph is displayed on screen.
A second batch file can be called as e.g.
alplbx x [<output type> <fontsize> <output size>]
This script searches for all files x*.plb, and transforms them
to the specified output type. If no output type is specified, all graphs
are shown on screen again.
