Pre 9.3 Image Output
Pre 9.3 Image Output
The following pre-T/HIS 9.3 image output commands are still supported but has been officially deprecated and users are recommended to use the new format described above. Support for the below commands may be removed entirely in the future.
Curve styles that have been previously defined can be applied to the curves in the plot, and various other settings can be made with regards to the axes and titles.
Images that require a second yaxis need to determine which curves go on which axis. To do this, use a "##" in the curve listing to switch to the second axis. The options are described in the tables below.
Curve files can be included within the curves to plot. FAST-TCF detects a curve file to read in using the pattern string ".cur" at the end of the name. The curves are read in, styles are applied, and the image is plotted. The curves are then deleted.
The user can use wildcards ("*") in the tag names to select multiple
curves for plotting.
