HELP SECTION
TVPL
Type: Task
Use: TVPL will find an extension file of type PL and use the graphics
commands in that file to display the plot on the TV device.
Adverbs:
INNAME......Image name(name). Standard defaults.
INCLASS.....Image name(class). Standard defaults.
INSEQ.......Image name(seq. #). 0 => highest.
INDISK......Disk drive # of image. 0 => any.
PLVER.......Version # of the PL file. 0 => highest version #
GRCHAN......Graphics channel (1 - 7) to use for line drawing.
0 => Use different graphics channels for the various
parts of the plot - namely 1 for labeling, 2 for
contours, 3 for polarization lines, and 4 for stars.
TVCHAN......TV channel to display gray-scale portion of plot.
0 => 1.
NOTE: If the plot file contains 3-color plot commands,
then TVCHAN should be low enough that channels TVCHAN+1
and TVCHAN+2 exist (the usual XAS has only 16 multi-bit
channels)
TVCORN......TV pixel location (X,Y) where the bottom left-corner of
the plot is to be placed. If either is zero, use the
largest possible self scaling, else use pixel scaling
with specified origin on the TV.
DODARK......> 0 => use graphics channel 8 to plot black overlay
lines whenever the plot files calls for dark vectors.
<= 0 => plot "dark" vectors as bright lines in the
colored graphics channels as if they were bright lines.
