LTYPE
Type: Adverb (Real)
Use: Set up the type of label to be used on a plot.
LTYPE has 3 parts: sign * [ 100 * n + m ]
Values of m mean:
1 = No label, just a border line
2 = No tick labels, just tick marks and rest of label
3 = Label with RA and DEC or other natural units
4 = Label in arcsec or other units from reference pixel
5 = Label in arcsec or other units from subimage center
6 = Label in pixels from original bottom left corner
Do just tick numbers and X and Y axis labels, leaving of
the time, source name, center coordinates, peak flux, and
other labels:
7 = Label with RA and DEC or other natural units
8 = Label in arcsec or other units from reference pixel
9 = Label in arcsec or other units from subimage center
10 = Label in pixels from original bottom left corner
Values of n mean:
0 = Metric scaling on non-coordinate axes (micro, milli, kilo,
mega, et al.) meant to make range visible
1 = Same except that milli and kilo are not used
2 = Same as 1 except micro and mega are also not used
3 = Move each metric scale one closer to none
4 = Move each metric scale one or two closer to none
Negative LTYPE means the same as the corresponding
positive value, but asks the plot routine to suppress the
date/time/plot-version-number label.
Null Value: 0 => 3 in most places
