Level 2 Help for QPLOT

INP

Input data set; maximum number is 10.


PLOTOUT

Output plot mode or file. If PLOTOUT is "NONE", the plot is displayed
interactively by gnuplot. If PLOTOUT is "YES", the plot is written as
a Postscript file and printed. If PLOTOUT is something other than
"NONE" or "YES", the value is used as a filename for the output, which
will be either Postscript or a gnuplot script, depending on the value
of PLOTFMT.


PLOTFMT

STRING - Format of output file, either "gnuplot" or "eps".


PROCESS

Specifies one or more lines to be plotted. Following the keyword,
each plot is specified by a set of five numbers. The first value 
in each set specifies the Input Data Set Number and  the remaining four
values specify the Starting Line, Starting Sample, Ending Line, and 
Ending Sample. (No Default).  NOTE:  The line plotted will cover
SQRT((EL-SL)**2+(ES-SS)**2) "relative samples" along the horizontal axis and
will start at "relative sample" 1.


NCHAN

Specifies the number of spectral channels in an input data set in mss
format. This keyword is used in conjunction with the SPROCESS keyword.
(Default is 1)


SPROCESS

Specifies one or more spectral plots. This keyword requires that the input 
be in mss format and that NCHAN is specified. Following the keyword,
each spectral plot is specified by a set of two numbers. The first value
in each set specifies the Line and the second value the Sample of the
point within the first channel through which the spectral plot is to be
done. (No Default)


TITLE

Used to specify the title of plots (Max length of 52 characters).
(Default is 'IPL LINE PLOT', or for spectral plots, 'IPL SPECTRAL PLOT')


LOTITLE

Specifies that the title will be written within the 8.5 x 11 area
(if the y axis length is less than or equal to 7 inches). (Default
is to place the title at the top of the page)


XTITLE

Specifies the title for the X axis (Max length of 52 characters). (Default is
'Relative Sample Number')


YTITLE

Specifies the title for the Y axis (Max length of 52 characters). (Default is
'DN Value')


LABELSIZ

Specifies the height in inches of the label characters. For a value
of 0.0, no labels are printed. (Default is 0.12)


LOLABEL

Specifies that labels will be written within the 8.5 x 11 space.
(Default is to place the labels at the top of the page.)


NORM

Causes DN values to be scaled linearly so that the largest value
becomes 1.  The length of the y axis is set to 5 inches.
(Default is that this is not done.)


RDS

Causes DN values to be scaled by the following equation:
OUT=SQRT(IN**2-RDS**2). (Default is that this is not done)


DISPLACE

Specifies that subsequent lines on the same plot will be displaced
by the given amount.  This is specified in terms of the final plotted
vertical values, rather than input DN, in the cases where the input
values are scaled. (Default is 0.0)


XLENGTH

Specifies the length in inches of the X axis. (Default is 9.0; Max is 72.0)


YLENGTH

Specifies the length in inches of the Y axis. (Default is 7.0; max is 12.0)


XSCALE

Specifies the scale used along the X axis.  The X axis will be drawn going
from a minimum of the first value to a maximum of the second.  The defaults
for these values are obtained by determining the minimum and maximum X 
values to be plotted on the axis and then passing these values to the
subroutine SCALE.
SCALE determines the scaling so that 1 inch along the axis will always be
an interval of 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 8*(10**n) units.  This usually results in 
having the plotted lines occupy only a portion of the axis.  By using the 
XSCALE keyword the user can force plots to occupy a greater portion of the 
X axis.  Axis values are printed every inch, however, and if it is desired
that these values be nice round numbers the quantity:
                  (XSCALEMAX-XSCALEMIN)/XLENGTH 
should be a nice round number.


YSCALE

Specifies the scale used along the Y axis.  The Y axis will be drawn going
from a minimum of the first value to a maximum of the second.  The defaults
for these values are obtained by determining the minimum and maximum Y 
values to be plotted on the axis and then passing these values to the
subroutine SCALE.
SCALE determines the scaling so that 1 inch along the axis will always be
an interval of 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 8*(10**n) units.  This usually results in 
having the plotted lines occupy only a portion of the axis.  By using the 
YSCALE keyword the user can force plots to occupy a greater portion of the 
Y axis.  Axis values are printed every inch, however, and if it is desired
that these values be nice round numbers the quantity:
                  (YSCALEMAX-YSCALEMIN)/YLENGTH 
should be a nice round number.


XVALUES

Allows the user to rescale the actual x (sample) data values of the 
lines to be plotted. XVALUES is followed by sets of two real values, one
set for each line to be plotted. The two values in each set specify the
minimum and maximum x values. The first value (the minimum) is the point
along the X axis where the first data point will be plotted.  The second
value (the maximum) is the point along the X axis where the last data
point will be plotted.
(DEFAULTS: XMIN=1.0, XMAX=SQRT[(EL-SL)**2+(ES-SS)**2]+1


YVALUES

Allows the user to rescale the actual y (DN) data values of the 
lines to be plotted. YVALUES is followed by sets of two real values, one
set for each line to be plotted. The two values in each set specify the
minimum and maximum y values. The first value (the minimum) is the point
along the Y axis where a DN of zero will be plotted.  The second value
(the maximum) is the point along the Y axis where a DN of 255 (32767 for
halfword data) will be plotted.
(DEFAULT: YMIN=0.0, YMAX=255 (byte) YMAX=32767 (halfword)   )


DEVTYPE

The command which causes the hardcopy to be printed. Default command is 
lpr for Unix platforms.
