Toggles between common settings, mainly graphics.
TOGGLE/STATUS | Reports the values of all Toggled settings. | |
TOGGLE/LOGX | X axis log/linear | |
TOGGLE/LOGY | Y axis log/linear | |
TOGGLE/CLEAR | Screen clearing between plots | |
TOGGLE/GRATICULE | Toggle graticule off/on | |
TOGGLE/HEADER | Header plotted on Display() command. | |
TOGGLE/MODE | Histogram or point mode | |
TOGGLE/RX | X axis rounding off/on | |
TOGGLE/RY | Y axis rounding off/on | |
TOGGLE/INFO | Informational message printing on/off | |
TOGGLE/DEBUG | Debug message printing on/off | |
[/ON] | Toggles item on | |
[/OFF] | Toggles item off | |
[/NOMESSAGE] | Does not print any related informational messages |
example:
# Switch off informational messages and display # a data plot with no banner heading. >> Toggle/info >> Toggle/header >> Display Spectrum(22) # Toggle the debug messages on. >> toggle/debug/on Debug printing in ON # Now lets toggle them off again, but this time don't print any message. >> toggle/debug/off/nomessage
Note: See the Alter() command for changing other graphics settings.
The Toggle command acts like an on off switch for the settings described below. The Toggle() command used on its own without any parameters reports the settings of all toggleable parameters.
All the toggle commands switch the setting to it's opposite value unless /Off or /On is specified in which case the value of the setting is forced on or off.
/On
Applies to all Toggle() commands and forces the value of the parameter to the On state.
/Off
Applies to all Toggle() commands and forces the value of the parameter to the Off state.
/NoMessage
Applies to all Toggle() commands and suppresses any informational messages that may have been printed.
Set the default mode for plotting with the Display() and Plot() commands to plot logs of the X data against a log X Axis. On startup, the X-Axis mode is linear.
Set the default mode for plotting with the Display() and Plot() commands to plot logs of the Y data against a log Y Axis. On startup, the Y-Axis mode is linear.
Alters the behaviour of the Display() and Multiplot() commands to produce plots without clearing the display device first. This can be used with the Alter/Plot command to put multiple pictures on one display, see also the Graphics primitive window creation commands. On startup, both the commands clear the display device by default.
Switches a graticule or crosshatch on for subsequent invocations of the Display() command. The frequency of the graticule may be altered by the Alter() command.
Switches the default for whether to display the standard Display() command banner or not. The banner can be toggled off to make more room to display the plot on a small screen. On startup the banner is enabled.
Enables rounding on the X axis. By default this is switched on, but for accuracy it may be desireable to let the absolute values of the axis be fixed to the exact limits of the plot.
Enables rounding on the Y axis. By default this is switched on, but for accuracy it may be desireable to let the absolute values of the axis be fixed to the exact limits of the plot.
Switches the display of informational messages on/off. Normally Open GENIE operations report warning or informational messages as ANSI style blue coloured text using the Printin() command. For example, Genie command language procedures using a lot of data I/O may wish to supress messages about the data being read.
Switches the display of debugging messages on/off. Normally Open GENIE operations report debug messages as ANSI style pink coloured text using the Printdn() command. This display will print alot of information to the screen and therefore is probably only of use for debugging procedures.
