File/Print (Windows only): If you want to print directly click on the Print option. If you want to change the current print options click on the Print Setup button. Otherwise click on File to plot to a file.
File Name
If you want to change the name of the generated plot file, change the name in the File Name field. A suggested file name will be derived from the "file pattern" field in the Plot Options. The plot file is placed in the directory from which you started ProMod-PLUS, unless you specify a full or relative path name.
If you select more than one object for plotting, a separate file is created for each object and the name of each file is taken from the file pattern.
The default file pattern for plots in the Plot Options is "$o.p$t". If a naming conflict arises, a number will be added to the name to make it unique. The default file extension created by this command is given in Naming Conventions in the Workstation binder.
Windows only: Clicking on the Browse button will display a selector from which you can browse through the existing files. This helps you to find a name that has not been already been used. Enter the name in the File Name field and click on OK to close the selector.
File Format
You can choose between Postscript, Metafile (Windows only), HP7475 and HP7550 format by clicking on one of the radio buttons offered in the options box.
Windows only: If you choose the Metafile format you can also copy the file to the clipboard, which would be useful for example if you want to copy the diagram into a different Windows application.
Page Size
You can choose a page size between A3, A4, A5 and A6 from the list by clicking on the appropriate button. Windows only: When plotting in Metafile format, this option is not available. When plotting directly to the printer, the page size is determined by the printer settings.
Scale factor
Drag the slider to choose the correct scale factor. The valid range is from 1 to 10. A scale factor of 1 will produce a plot that fits on one sheet of paper, a scale factor of 2 will produce a plot that fits on four sheets of paper, and so on. Windows only: When plotting in Metafile format, this option is not available.
Print (Motif only): If you want to print this file directly click on the Print option. If you want to change the current print options for plots click on the Print Options button.
Once all the options are correct click on the Plot button. Alternatively cancel the window by clicking on the Cancel button.
