Help for QPLOT
Purpose: QPLOT calls QPLOT2 to plot the DN values along a specified straight
line through an image. It also does spectral plots for multi-channel data.
The plot will be displayed on the terminal unless PLOTOUT = YES, in
which case QPLOT2 generates a PostScipt (EPS) output file which will be printed
on the device specified by DEVTYPE.
Parameters: There are two types of parameters:
(1) Parameters with a single specification:
INP OUT NCHAN
TITLE LOTITLE XTITLE
YTITLE LABELSIZ LOLABEL
NORM RDS DISPLACE
XLENGTH YLENGTH TICS
XSCALE YSCALE
(2) Parameters which have a specification for each line plotted:
PROCESS SPROCESS
XVALUES YVALUES
Restrictions:
(1) Maximum number of lines plotted is 10.
(2) Maximum x axis length is 6 feet. (on PRINTRONIX)
(3) Maximum y axis length is 12 inches. (on PRINTRONIX)
(4) Spectral plots require a single input in mss format.
Vicar Plotting
The Vicar Plotting system can produce plots on either a display device or
in a postscript file which can be sent to a printer. This is controlled
by the parameter PLOTOUT. 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.

01jul14 -wlb- qplot2 Replaced NODISP with PLOTOUT to work with the new
qplot2 interface, which changed as part of an update switching
from XRTPS to Gnuplot.
23aug06 -lwk- since default for Unix is now different from VMS, disabled
latter option (VMS no longer being supported); replaced NOPRINT
with NODISP (apparently the behaviour of the XRTPS software has
changed!)
