PSCONTOUR - PostScript CONTOURing of a two-dimensional function f(x1,x2)

pscontour n1= [optional parameters] <binaryfile >postscriptfile

Required Parameters:
n1 number of samples in 1st (fast) dimension

Optional Parameters:
d1=1.0 sampling interval in 1st dimension
f1=d1 first sample in 1st dimension
x1=f1,f1+d1,... array of monotonic sampled values in 1st dimension
n2=all number of samples in 2nd (slow) dimension
d2=1.0 sampling interval in 2nd dimension
f2=d2 first sample in 2nd dimension
x2=f2,f2+d2,... array of monotonic sampled values in 2nd dimension
nc=5 number of contour values
dc=(zmax-zmin)/nc contour interval
fc=min+dc first contour
c=fc,fc+dc,... array of contour values
cwidth=1.0,... array of contour line widths
cgray=0.0,... array of contour grays (0.0=black to 1.0=white)
ccolor=none,... array of contour colors; none means use cgray
cdash=0.0,... array of dash spacings (0.0 for solid)
labelcf=1 first labeled contour (1,2,3,...)
labelcper=1 label every labelcper-th contour
nlabelc=nc number of labeled contours (0 no contour label)
xbox=1.5 offset in inches of left side of axes box
ybox=1.5 offset in inches of bottom side of axes box
wbox=6.0 width in inches of axes box
hbox=8.0 height in inches of axes box
x1beg=x1min value at which axis 1 begins
x1end=x1max value at which axis 1 ends
d1num=0.0 numbered tic interval on axis 1 (0.0 for automatic)
f1num=x1min first numbered tic on axis 1 (used if d1num not 0.0)
n1tic=1 number of tics per numbered tic on axis 1
grid1=none grid lines on axis 1 - none, dot, dash, or solid
label1= label on axis 1
x2beg=x2min value at which axis 2 begins
x2end=x2max value at which axis 2 ends
d2num=0.0 numbered tic interval on axis 2 (0.0 for automatic)
f2num=x2min first numbered tic on axis 2 (used if d2num not 0.0)
n2tic=1 number of tics per numbered tic on axis 2
grid2=none grid lines on axis 2 - none, dot, dash, or solid
label2= label on axis 2
labelfont=Helvetica font name for axes labels
labelsize=18 font size for axes labels
title= title of plot
titlefont=Helvetica-Bold font name for title
titlesize=24 font size for title
labelcfont=Helvetica-Bold font name for contour labels
labelcsize=6 font size of contour labels
labelccolor=black color of contour labels
titlecolor=black color of title
axescolor=black color of axes
gridcolor=black color of grid
axeswidth=1 width (in points) of axes
ticwidth=axeswidth width (in points) of tic marks
gridwidth=axeswidth width (in points) of grid lines
style=seismic normal (axis 1 horizontal, axis 2 vertical) or
seismic (axis 1 vertical, axis 2 horizontal)

Note.
The line width of unlabeled contours is designed as a quarter of that
of labeled contours.

All color specifications may also be made in X Window style Hex format
example: axescolor=#255

type: sudoc pscontour for more information


Notes:

For nice even-numbered contours, use the parameters fc and dc

Example: if the range of the z values of a data set range between
approximately -1000 and +1000, then use fc=-1000 nc=10 and dc=100
to get contours spaced by even 100's.
