NAME

grspec -- Plot arbitrary lines from a group format one-dimensional image.

USAGE

grspec inimage members

DESCRIPTION

Plot arbitrary lines from a group format one-dimensional image. The data are specified by the image file name with an optional image section and a string specifying which group members to plot. The input data are assumed to be one-dimensional group (STSDAS format) data.

This is a script that calls the task specplot. For more information, refer to the help for specplot.

PARAMETERS

image [file]

Input image file. This is assumed to be a multi-image (group format) file containing one-dimensional data (spectra). Any group selection specified in the file name will be ignored (see the members parameter). An image section may be specified.

members [string]

Which group members to plot. Single numbers may be seaparated by commas to indicate individual members, a range of members may be specified by the first and last member separated by a dash, or all members may be selected by an asterisk.

(inclusive = no) [bool]

Include files not in group format? If yes, then include those files in the output list that are not in group format with no group member indicated. Otherwese, list only members of files from group-format images.

(title) [string]

An arbitrary string to use as the plot title. If the null string, then the plot title will be the name of the input file and the string specifying the group members plotted. The title can be changed interactively using the ":/title" cursor command.

autolayout = yes

Automatically layout the spectra by shifting or scaling to a common mean and determining a separation step which does not overlap the spectra? The algorithm uses the following parameters.

autoscale = yes

Scale the spectra to a common mean? If no then the spectra are shifted to a common mean and if yes they are scaled to a common mean.

fraction = 1.2

The separation step which just avoids overlapping the spectra is multiplied by this number. Numbers greater than 1 increase the separation while numbers less than 1 decrease the separation and provide some amount of overlap.

scale = 1., offset = 0.

Default intensity scaling and offset.

step = 0

The step separating spectra when not using autolayout. The value of this parameter depends on the range of the data.

ptype = "1"

Default plotting type for the spectra. A numeric value produces connected lines with 0 being an invisiible line, 1 being a solid line, and higher integers different types of lines depending on the capabilities of the graphics device. If one of the marker types is specified then the spectra are plotted as marks. The marker types are "point", "box", "plus", "cross", "diamond", "hline", "vline", "hebar", "vebar", and "circle".

labels = "user"

Spectrum labels to be used. If the null string or the word "none" is given then the spectra are not labeled. The word "imname" labels the spectra with the image name, the word "imtitle" labels them wih the image title, the word "index" labels them with the index number, and the word "user" labels them with user defined labels. The user labels may be given in the file specified by the parameter ulabels , which are matched with the list of spectra, and also added interactively.

ulabels = ""

File containing user labels.

xlpos = 1.02, ylpos = 0.0

The starting position for the spectrum labels in fractions of the graph limits. The horizontal (x) position is measured from the left edge while the vertical position is measured from the mean value of the spectrum. For vertical positions a negative value may be used to label below the spectrum. The default is off the right edge of the graph at the mean level of the spectrum.

xlabel = "", ylabel = ""

X axis label and y axis label for graphs. These may be changed interactively using ":/xlabel" and ":/ylabel".

xmin = INDEF, xmax = INDEF, ymin = INDEF, ymax = INDEF

The default limits for the initial graph. If INDEF then the limit is determined from the range of the data (autoscaling). These values can be changed with w cursor key or the cursor commands ":/xwindow" and ":/ywindow".

graphics = "stdgraph"

Output graphics device. One of "stdgraph", "stdplot", "stdvdm", @(enviroment variable), or actual device.

cursor = ""

Graphics cursor input. When null the standard cursor is used otherwise the specified file is used.

(device = "stdgraph") [string]

Graphics device

EXAMPLES

1. Plot curves 1, 3, and 5 from the group format spectral image named spect:

st> grspec spect 1,3,5

2. Plot the third and all subsequent curves from the group format image s0515.

st> grspec s0515 3,* title="5/15/89"

3. Plot pixels 1 thruogh 100 of the first 4 curves in the spectrum msp and increase the plot border to 5% of the plot viewport:

st> grspec msp[1:100] 1-4 border=5
