How to plot initial guess and fitted results

    By typing PLOT after GUESS>, RESULTS> or STATUS> you'll get the prompt

PLOT_FIT>.

Here again a variety of commands are available:

SPECTRUM  TIMES     RAW_SPEC  ASY_SPEC  POL_SPEC  ERR_SPEC  PRINTER
DB_DUMP   EXIT
and here's what these commands do:

SPECTRUM Command to plot raw asymmetry and theory function as oibtained from the initial guess
TIMES ???
RAW_SPEC Command to plot raw asymmetry
ASY_SPEC Command to plot corrected asymmetry (fitted result)
POL_SPEC Myon polarisation
ERR_SPEC Fit Error Asymmetry
PRINTER Output is printer (not the screen)
DB_DUMP Here you can specify the db.file the fitted results are written to.
EXIT leave PLOT_FIT>

After having inserted a command at PLOT_FIT> you'll have to type <RET> a couple of times until the prompt

DOPLOT>

will appear. Here different commands are available as well:

X_LIMITS  Y_LIMITS  BOX   AXES  LOGSCALE  WIDTH
HEIGHT    POINTSIZ  CHARSIZE  INVSCALE  EXIT      MARGINS   DEVICE
TITLE     LABELS    TEXT      TICS      PRINT_PL  HARDCOPY  CAPTION
FONT      DB_DUMP   KEEP      ADD       LUN_PX    TERSE     REMEMBER
RECALL    EDGR      PUBLISH   NEXT

X_LIMITS <left> <right> Command to set limits on x-axis.
Y_LIMITS <left> <right> Command to set limits on y-axis.
BOX Frames the plot.
 Label axes etc? < yes> or < no>
AXES ???
LOGSCALE Makes scales on axes logarithmic.
 Logarithmic x scale? < yes > or < no>
 Logarithmic y scale? < yes > or < no >
WIDTH <width> This command changes the width of the picture. You can see the current setting bei typing WIDTH < <RET>>.
HEIGHT <height> This command changes the height of the picture. You can see the current setting bei typing HEIGHT < <RET>> (recommended height for postscript format: h 5).
POINTSIZ <pointsize> This command changes the pointsize in the picture. You can see the current setting bei typing POINTSIZ <<RET>> (recommended pointsize for postscript format: p 0.12).
CHARSIZE <charactersize> This command changes the size of all characters in the picture. You can see the current setting bei typing CHARSIZ < <RET>> (recommended character size for postscript format: ch 0.22).
INVSCALE The inverse value of the variable is plottet on the scale.
 Inverse x scale? < yes > or < no >
 Inverse y scale? < yes > or < no >
EXIT Command to leave DOPLOT>.
MARGINS Shows current lower left corner of plot.
 Lower left corner of plot now at (X,Y) = 0, 0,
DEVICE ???
TITLE Command to change title of the plot.
 Present Title:
 Replacement? < new title>
LABELS <<RET>> Present label of axes can be changed.
 Present x label: x_label
 Replacement? < new x label>
 Present y label: y_label
 Replacement? < new y label>

TEXT In this subroutine you can insert text into your plot - but don't know how ??????
 Position 1st character w/cursor & hit any key but CR:
 "SUB_SCRIBE" Text Plotter subroutine:
 Use Ĉ to interrupt current text plotting;
 or terminate with Z in Manual Input mode.
 Read from a file?
 Font initially SANSERIF.1; change?
 Character height (inches)?
 Line spacing?
DOPLOT>
TICS <x> <y> With this command you can change the number of tics on the axes.
 Max # of tic marks on X and Y axes: 11, 9,
PRINT_PL Print command
HARDCOPY Print command
 HPL   HP Laserjet
 PS    PostScript
 Q     QUIT
       
 Enter device code >
 Enter hardcopy command >
The most important hardcopy commans are:
p   que-name    Print
s   [file-name]   Save
q                 Quit
CAPTION This caption is written into the plot.
 Enter a line of Caption >
 Character size (") >
 Angle >
 Position 1st character w/cursor & hit any key but CR:
DOPLOT>
FONT ???
 Desired Font name >
DB_DUMP ???
 Write out point to a *.DB file? < yes >
 Enter Filename >
KEEP Does not clear graphic-memory.

ADD With this command you can add lines or characters into the plot. The coordinates (x,y) are the coordinates of the characters and the corner points of the lines respectively. Still don't know how to change character size in this subroutine
 Entering a Line? < yes >
 Add (X,Y) point (0,0 when done) >
or
 Entering a Line? < no >
 Entering a Character? < yes >
 Add (X,Y,CH) point (0,0 when done) >
or
 Entering a Line? < no >
 Entering a Character? < no >
 Add (X,Y,IPTYP) point (0,0,0 when done) >
LUN_PX ???
 PX plot files now go to LUN 2
TERSE By answering yes you'll see only zickzack lines
 Plot all symbols as dots, etc.< yes > ?
REMEMBER Similar to keep ???
RECALL Similar to keep ???
EDGR
 Open an EDGR file? < yes >
 Enter new drawing name or CTRL-Z to exit. (Use * for directory list)
 Drawing name > (without filetype)
PUBLISH ???
 Use Publishers Convention [0.000 etc.]?
