NYOFF is the vertical offset of the grid in thousandths of an inch. An increase in NXOFF means the grid (and axes, curves, etc.) will be moved to the right within the plot window. An increase in NYOFF means the grid is moved upward within the plot window. NXOFF and NYOFF are margins on the left and bottom. NXID6 Horizontal location for start of plot legend in thousandths of an inch. NYID6 Vertical location for start of plot legend in thousandths of an inch. Only SPY PLOT is involved (the location of the CALCOMP PLOT legend is controlled by very old variables within STARTUP). In the above, "location" refers to the start of the legend --- the left edge of the top line of the several lines. Zero NYID6 corresponds to the top of the plot window. Vertical distance is measured positively downward. Horizontal location increases as one moves left to right. NXVERN is horizontal location of Y-axis numbers, in thousandths of an inch. NYVERN is vertical location of 1st Y-axis number, in thousandths of an inch. Only SPY PLOT is involved (CALCOMP PLOT axis numbers are unaffected). As with the preceding legend, location refers to the start of the number. Increasing NXVERN will move Y-axis numbers to the right. Increasing NYVERN will move Y-axis numbers downward. IDXBAS is the width of characters of the base font, in monitor pixels. IDYBAS is the height of characters of the base font, in monitor pixels. These numbers no longer are used for vector screen graphics. DISLIN uses the single MULFNT below as an alternative. So, IDXBAS and IDYBAS can be ignored except for PostScript output if NOPOST = 0. Because of PostScript output, we continue using values of years past. are largely arbitrary, since MULFNT will scale the text, anyway. Later, either this pair of sizes or MULFNT is expected to disappear. Obviously, one does not need 3 parameters to control the size of text. JXDISL Horizontal pixels that locate of upper-left corner of the plot window. JYDISL Vertical pixels that locate of upper-left corner of the plot window. Normally, the user will ignore this parameter pair, which then will be set to (1, 1) which corresponds to the upper-left corner of the screen. The idea is to have graphics above and text (ATP printout) below. NXDISL Pixels of horizontal resolution for the monitor being used. NYDISL Pixels of vertical resolution for the monitor being used. JSLOW Artificial added time delay in milliseconds after each refresh of a ROLLing SPY PLOT. For any positive value, one line of output to the DOS window of the screen (not the .LIS file) will document each such waste of time. Note KSLOWR of STARTUP defines the frequency of plot refreshing. NODISK is a binary switch that allows the suppression of DISLIN graphics during DISK use. Value unity will suppress the graphics whereas value zero will not. Note the difference compared with Salford EMTP, which automatically suppressed screen graphics during DISK use. With GNU ATP and DISLIN, this decision is left to the user. KLIPX Meaning depends on the sign. For full-width plotting, there is a minus sign, and the absolute value will be small. Then -KLIPX = is the number of X pixels that are to be removed from NXDISL as the plot window is defined. If zero, the right side of the window frame will be missing. Value 3 is enough to show the frame, which reassures the user that nothing has been lost on the right. This represents waste, but is an aesthetically pleasing choice. This is for a negative value. For a positive value, the name and meaning JXPERC change. JXPERC > 0 is the width of the graphic window as a percentage of the total screen width NXDISL. JYPERC is the height of the graphic window as a percentage of the total screen height NYDISL. Value 60 is referred to as full-height, although 80% and 93% have been used (see HIGHER*.AUX). INCHX is the width of the plot window in thousandths of an inch. INCHY is the height of the plot window in thousandths of an inch. Remember that the Y axis is 8 inches high, and the time axis is 20 inches long (for full width). So this pair of numbers should allow some extra space on all sides. Something such as 10 and 22 thousand are reasonable. These two numbers provide magnification. The grid size varies inversely with these numbers. As more space is allowed, less is used, so a plot becomes smaller. JTICW is half the width of an axis tic mark, in thousandths of an inch. JTICH is half the length of an axis tic mark, in thousandths of an inch. Generally, the second number will be 5 or more times the first. X-axis tic marks will be drawn using the color of the X axis. But Y-axis tic marks will be drawn using the color of the grid in order not to interfere with Y-axis numbers. MULFNT is an empirical scaling factor for text. Values as small as 200 and as large as 400 have been used. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Were it not for QUARTER PLOT, a larger value probably would be used. As QUART.DAT illustrates, value 300 is plenty big for this use. Overprinting generally is to be avoided.
