SUMMARY

Controls line-width selection for graphics devices.

SYNTAX

WIDTH  {ON|OFF|linewidth} options

where options are one or more of the following:

{SKELETON width}
{INCREMENT {ON|OFF}}
{LIST STANDARD|widthlist}

and where linewidth, width and widthlist are integer values.

The LIST option must appear last in this command.

INPUT

WIDTH ON: Turn WIDTH option on but don't change current width values.

WIDTH OFF: Turn width option off.

WIDTH linewidth:

Change data width to linewidth and turn WIDTH option on.

SKELETON width: Change width of skeleton to width and turn WIDTH option on.

INCREMENT {ON}: Increment width from widthlist list after each data file is plotted.

INCREMENT OFF: Do not increment data line width.

LIST widthlist: Change the content of the width list. Enter list of widths. Sets data width to first width in list and turns width option on.

LIST STANDARD: Change to the standard width list. Sets data width to first width in list and turns width option on.

WIDTH ON:	Turn WIDTH option on but don't change current width values.
WIDTH OFF:	Turn width option off.
WIDTH linewidth:
	Change data width to linewidth and turn WIDTH option on.
SKELETON width:	Change width of skeleton to width and turn WIDTH option on.
INCREMENT {ON}:	Increment width from widthlist list after each data file is plotted.
INCREMENT OFF:	Do not increment data line width.
LIST widthlist:	Change the content of the width list. Enter list of widths. Sets data width to first width in list and turns width option on.
LIST STANDARD:	Change to the standard width list. Sets data width to first width in list and turns width option on.

DEFAULT VALUES

WIDTH OFF SKELETON 1 INCREMENT OFF LIST STANDARD

DESCRIPTION

This command controls width attributes for those devices which can display a large number of line-widths. The data width is the width that is used when plotting the data files. The data width may be automatically incremented from a width list after each data file is plotted. The skeleton width is the width used to plot the axes. Only plot axes change with SKELETON option. Grids, text, labels and frame ids are always displayed with the thin line-width of value 1.

If plotting several data files on the same plot, you may want each to be in a different width. This is done using the INCREMENT option. When this option is on, the data width is incremented from a list of widths each time a data file is plotted. The order and value of widths in the standard (default) list is:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
You may change the order or content of this list using the LIST option. This is useful for doing overlay plots (see PLOT2) when you want the same widths used in the same order on each plot.

EXAMPLES

To select an incrementing data width starting with 1:
SAC> WIDTH 1 INCREMENT
To set up an incrementing data width list of 1, 3, and 5 with an skeleton of 2:
SAC> WIDTH SKELETON 2 INCREMENT list 1 3 5
