HELP SECTION

PRPLT
Type: Task
Use:  PRPLT does graphics plots from an image cube averaged along each
      axis.  The axis labels for longitude and latitudes are not done
      with the same accuracy as the labels on TV and other grey-scale
      displays.  The longitudes are scaled by the reference pixel
      latitude and latitudes, longitudes, velocities, and other axes
      are treated as linear functions which is approximately correct
      over small-angle images.
Adverbs:
  INNAME......Image name for profile.    Standard defaults.
  INCLASS.....Image class for profile.   Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......Image seq. # for profile.  0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk unit # for profile.   0 => any.
  BLC.........Bottom Left Corner of the image  (0,0) means (1,1).
  TRC.........Top Right Corner of the image: (0,0) means top right
              corner of map.
  DOPROFIL....1 => profile vs X (average along Y and Z)
              2 => profile vs Y (average along X and Z)
              4 => profile vs Z (average along X and Y)
              3 => profiles 1 and 2  (X and Y)
              5 => profiles 1 and 4  (X and Z)
              6 => profiles 2 and 4
              0, 7 => all 3
              If any axis has only 1 point (BLC(i)=TRC(i)), that plot
              will be surpressed.
  PIXRANGE....Min,Max of plot intensities.  0 => entire range
  XYRATIO.....The ratio of the X-axis to Y-axis plot scale.
              0  => 1 of DOTV false, 1.4 if DOTV true.
  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.
  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 => use multiple graphics planes for the various parts
              of the graphical drawing.
