Plot Commands

Some of these commands refer to "gl" commands which are documented in the wd Commands online help.

For example, create a new plot window with xy position 100 100, and of size 400 by 600:
pd 'new 100 100 400 600'

use window
change window

text, textc, textr arg
text (left aligned), centered, right aligned.
Argument is x y text, where x y are coordinates relative to window.
For example, the following writes the text "J Graphics" centered at position 500 950:
pd 'textc 500 950 J Graphics'

{options}
sets plot options. See Plot Options

show

save [file w h]
save plot to file in wmf format
file is filename. The file extension defaults to .wmf. If file not given, 'save' is treated as 'clip'.
w h are relative width and height. Default is current plot width and height. For example,

1000 1000 same width and height
1000 500 width is twice height

savebmp [file w h] save plot as 24bit color bitmap file.
