These options set the appearance of any plots that are created afterwards. They are to do with the general appearance of the plot rather than the curve itself. The curve appearances can be set up with the style definition line and on the image plotting line . All following words must be on the same line. If the "on" or "off" is missed out from the following word (where applicable) then FAST-TCF will take the opposite to the default (this helps with backwards compatibility issues but can also make a script more compact).
| e.g. | setup | ax bold | grid on | line bold | reverse |
|
(bold axes) | (grid on) | (bold lines) | (reverse foreground and background) | |
| setup | double on | border off | show 3ms | size 250 | |
|
(double axes on) | (no border) | (3ms window on) | (size = 1000 x 750 pixels) | |
