Control Block contents

The attributes for individual graphs reside within the structure

          dataset.MORE.ASTERIX.GRAFIX

and fall into the three groups that follow. Not all attributes or sub-attributes have to be present - absence is the equivalent of being in an unset or cancelled state.

Axis control:

        XRANGE_LO              low edge of x-axis
        XRANGE_HI              high edge of y-axis
        YRANGE_LO              low edge of y-axis
        YRANGE_HI              high edge of y-axis
        XLOG                   flag x-axis to be logarithmic
        YLOG                   flag y-axis to be logarithmic

Plotting style:

        POLYLINE               flag polyline to be drawn through points
        POLYLINE_STYLE         linestyle
        POLYLINE_WIDTH         linewidth
        POLYLINE_COLOUR        colour index
        STEPLINE               flag stepped line to be drawn through points
        STEPLINE_STYLE         linestyle

        ERRSYM_COLOUR          colour index

        PIXEL                  flag pixel plot to be drawn
        PIXEL_MIN              low cut-off
        PIXEL_MAX              high cut-off
        CONTOUR                contour plot to be drawn
        CONTOUR_LEVELS(n)      levels
        CONTOUR_STYLE(n)       linestyle for each level
        CONTOUR_WIDTH(n)       linewidth for each level
        CONTOUR_COLOUR(n)      colour index for each level
        THREED                 pseudo 3D plot to be drawn
        THREED_BIAS            vertical bias of each row
        THREED_OFFSET          horizontal offset of each row

Text:

        XLABEL                 text for x-axis label
        XLABEL_SIZE            character size
        XLABEL_FONT            character font

          .FONT                character font
          .POSITION(2)         x-y position
          .ANGLE               orientation
