SL2PL: Task to convert a Slice File to a Plot File
INPUTS
DOSLICE -1.0 1.0 True (1) => plot slice data
DOMODEL -1.0 3.0 True (1) => plot model sum
2 -> comps, 3 -> both
DORESID -1.0 1.0 True (1) => plot residuals.
USERID -32000.0 32000.0 User ID. ignored
INNAME Image name (name)

LTYPE -410.0 410.0 Type of labeling: 1 border,
2 no ticks, 3 standard, 4 rel
to center, 5 rel to subim cen
6 pixels, 7-10 as 3-6 with
only tick labels

HELP SECTION
SL2PL
Type: Task
Use: SL2PL will convert a SLice file to a PLot file. With this
plot file, the slice can be sent to a variety of display
devices.
Adverbs:
DOSLICE.....Plot slice data? > 0 -> yes, <= 0 -> no.
DOMODEL.....Plot model? > 0 -> yes, <= 0 -> no.
1, 3 model sum, 2, 3 model comps
DORESID.....Plot data - model? > 0 -> yes, <= 0 -> no.
USERID......The ID of the owner of the image. ignored
INNAME......Image name (name). Standard defaults.
INCLASS.....Image name (class). Standard defaults.
INSEQ.......Image name (seq. #). 0 => highest.
INDISK......Disk unit #. 0 => any.
INVERS......Version # of SL file. 0 => highest version #
LTYPE.......Labelling type, see HELP LTYPE for details:
1 = border, 2 = no ticks, 3 or 7 = standard, 4 or 8 =
relative to ref. pixel, 5 or 9 = relative to subimage
(BLC, TRC) center, 6 or 10 = pixels. 7-10 all labels
other than tick numbers and axis type are omitted.
Less than 0 is the same except that the plot file
version number and create time are omitted.
Add n * 100 to alter the metric scaling.
PIXRANGE....Min,Max of Image intensity. 0,0 => slice min max.
BDROP.......Number of slice points to be omitted from plot
on the left
EDROP.......Number of slice points to be omitted from plot
on the right
DOTV........> 0 => plot directly on the TV device, otherwise
make a plot file for later display on one or
more devices (including the TV if desired).
GRCHAN......Graphics channel (1 - 7) to use for line drawing.
0 => 1.
EXPLAIN SECTION
SL2PL: Task to convert a Slice File to a Plot File
DOCUMENTOR: G. A. Fickling NRAO/Charlottesville
RELATED PROGRAMS: SLICE, EXTLIST, LWPLA, TKPL, TVPL.
PURPOSE
SL2PL will convert a slice file (SL) into a plot file (PL)
with labeling, etc. suitable for printing. After a plot file
has been created the plot can be sent to any device using the
standard ploting programs such as LWPLA (line printer) or TVPL
(tv device). Use the appropriate flag in order to send the
desired part of the slice file (data, model, residual) to the
plot file.
COMMENTS
INVERS
The version number of the slice file. Set to 0 to do the
last slice you made or use verb EXTLIST with INEXT set to 'SL'
to get a list of all of the slices for a particular map.
LTYPE
The slices may be labeled in a variety of ways. You may
wish to experiment with LTYPE using verb TKSLICE before deciding
on the best labeling.
BDROP
The slice points to drop from the beginning of the slice.
Remember that the number of slice points will be greater than
the number of pixels in the slice. You can see how many slice
points were used in the slice by executing verb EXTLIST with
INEXT set to 'SL'.
EDROP
The slice points to drop from the end of the slice.
