plot_win - Procedure

Creates a plotfile

Description

Writes any portion of the model to a plotfile using GKS-metafile or AutoCAD DXF-. The viewing direction of the view curently active in the main window (ID=0) is used.

Syntax

plot_win(minpos, maxpos, file, origin)

VECTOR minpos;

VECTOR maxpos;

STRING file*132;

VECTOR origin;

Principal parameters

name - Lower left corner of plot area

scale - Upper right corner of plot area

file - Name of file to create ending with either ".PLT" or ".DXF". A path may be included.

   If the name ends with ".PLT" then GKS is used.

   If the name ends with ".DXF" then DXF is used.

Optional parameters

origin - A position in the model to be used as the origin (X=Y=0) of the plot. If not specified

   then minpos is used as the origin.

Comments

plotwin() automatically uses a value for curve accuracy twice as high as the value currently active on the display.

The plotwin routine can only produce GKS or DXF but VARKON also includes a number of translators (plotter drivers) that translate plotfiles to other formats like HP-GL, Postscript, Tektronix and so on.
