WIND (Define a plotting window)

The WIND command defines a window (in plotting units), within which data is to be plotted. This window is used to clip data when clipping is on, and for annotation purposes. The window is also used to define data coordinate scaling using WDEF command. The plotting units are defined using the UNIT command and are in cm by default.

Command Syntax:

Command Parameters:

refp	Reference point from which to refer the following coordinates. The default is the last reference point used.
x1,y1	The coordinates of the lower left corner of the plotting window. The defaults are the same as the currently defined plotting window.
x2,y2	The coordinates of the upper right corner of the current plotting window. The defaults are the same as the currently defined plotting window.
dx,dy	The X and Y size of the plotting window. If specified, then x2,y2 are ignored.
margin	The window is enlarged by this amount on all sides. This parameter is provided to allow the window to be expanded in size after setting the scaling for profile plotting.

Example

The following control file defines a plotting page and a plotting window, draws a line around the page and the window, and then draws a clipped diagonal line.

The following example reads data from an XYZ file and scales the plotting window to plot the data. It then expands the window to add margins and plots the data:
