- RISC OS specific features and commands.
- ---------------------------------------
-
- TERMINALS:
-
- - Some terminal drivers are included. These are: PostScript, various
- TeX drivers, a MetaFont driver, HPGL, DXF and PCL.
-
- - There are two terminal types specific to RISC OS: arcsprite and
- arcdraw. These terminals will display their output in a window, from
- which you can save the diagram.
-
- - The zoom factor for a new viewer will default to the last zoom factor
- set (i.e. the way Paint does it).
-
- - The `clear' command for these terminals will close the window that has
- been opened last.
-
- - an extra command `viewers' can be used to give a list of all viewers
- currently opened.
-
- COMMAND LINE:
-
- - This gnuplot supports command line editing.
-
- - screen output can be saved using the menu that appears over the main
- window.
-
- - the history list can be saved too.
-
- WORK DIRECTORY:
-
- - The RISC OS system variable `GnuPlot$WorkDir' points to the work
- directory.
-
- - The `cd' command will affect this variable.
-
- - The `dir' command has been introduced to display all files in the
- current work directory. Directory entries will be enclosed in square
- brackets (`[' and `]').
-
- PERFORMANCE:
-
- - gnuplot should multitask in the desktop. This can be controlled by the
- RISC OS system variable `GnuPlot%TimeSlice', which must be set before
- the program starts.
-
- SET COMMAND:
-
- - Use `timeslice' to alter the timeslice. You can do so while the program
- is running - no need to restart gnuplot.
-
- - Use `maxdrawviewers' to change the maximum number of Draw viewers that
- may be open simultaneously. `maxspriteviewers' is the equivalent for
- Sprite viewers. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.
-
- - `{no}askviewerclose' will (not) instruct gnuplot to remind you that
- the viewer you want to close has not been saved. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.
-
- COMMANDS:
-
- - `exit' cannot be abbreviated to `ex' any longer.
-
- DOCUMENTS:
-
- - For Impression users, a special program has been included that can
- convert the gnuplot document into a DDF file.
