Adds a label along the X-axis of a drawing area and/or changes X-axis
label attributes.
chips> [D #] XLABEL ["<text>"]
To change X-axis label attributes:
chips> [D #] XLABEL <color>
chips> [D #] XLABEL [SIZE] <size_value>
The XLABEL command can take many arguments:
Argument: D #
Description: drawing area number designation
Options: integer numbers
Default: current drawing area
See the D command for more information about
this argument.
Argument: <color>
Description: label color
Options: BLACK, BLUE, CYAN, DEFAULT, GREEN, MAGENTA, RED, WHITE,
YELLOW
Default: DEFAULT (appears in ChIPS window as white; prints as black)
Argument: <size_value>
Description: label size
Options: real numbers
Default: 1.0
Argument: <text>
Description: the text for the label, which must be in quotes
(" "). The <text> may contain TeX syntax for
formatting text, creating mathematical expressions,
and mixing font settings.
Options: quoted character string
The FONT command has more information about
font options.
Issuing this command with no arguments will delete the current X-axis
label.
CIAO allows some plot attributes to be changed using the ChIPS
state object and resource file. See
"ahelp chips" for further
details.
chips> CURVE data/example.dat
chips> XLABEL "This is the X-axis"
After a curve has been plotted, a label is added to the X-axis.
chips> XLABEL " "
chips> XLABEL "\oe This \rm is \gr Greek"
The command XLABEL " " removes the previous X-axis label.
The second XLABEL command utilizes TeX syntax in order to achieve
mixed font settings in the same plot. The command produces a label
where "This" is in Old English font, "is" is in
Roman font, and "Greek" is in the Greek font.
chips> XLABEL YELLOW
chips> XLABEL SIZE 1.5
An existing label is changed to the color yellow,
then increased in size to 1.5.
