General Plotting Options

[[channel] start to [channel] end]
[normalized]
[marked]
[annotated]
[calibrated]
[rescaled]
[rotated degrees]
[to "file"]
[driver "driver"]

The domain can be specified using the start to end syntax. It is assumed that start and end are in calibrated units unless they are preceded by the word channel. It an output file is specified, the file name is used to guess the correct driver. If a guess cannot be made, or no output file is specified, the xwin driver is used. The plot can be rotated by an arbitrary angle using the rotated option followed by the number of degrees to rotate the plot.

normalized

Plot normalized data instead of raw data

marked

Non-background regions to be shaded on the plot

annotated

Print the peak number near the top of each peak

calibrated

Use calibrated units on the a-axis instead of channels

rescaled

Rescale the y-axis based on the data in the specified domain

Tip

When plotting small peaks, use the rescaled option.

Refer to the PLplot documentation for valid driver names. Common ones are xwin, ps, psc (ps in color), jpeg and png. Note, when using the xwin driver, the output file name refers to the name of the X11 terminal (the default is taken from the environmental variable DISPLAY).
