How to Print a Spectrum with Lines in Different Colors
Outline:
The following steps are involved:
2. Define the regions that you wish to color in:
To do this you use the resets in the integration mode. Therefore click on:
Main Menu --> Display --> Part Int --> resets
Use the left mouse button to define the regions that you want plotted. Then leave the integral mode by clicking
Full Int --> No Int.
3. Set up the printer and color
I recommend first to plot your spectrum in black and white to see if the parameters given cause problem. For black and white you can skip to the next point. For color plots click Main Menu --> Plotter --> color.
Answer the question Will you accept the $1 charge for each color plot? The actual plotting will cause the charge. Here we will only prepare a post script file which is free. Click on Plot --> Postscript. Then choose what you want to color (Spectrum, Scale, etc.) and the color. Then Exit the color mode.
4. Prepare the postscript file
Type plpart to start the macro. Answer the questions whether you want to plot the displayed fraction of the spectrum. To plot in several colors you can repeatedly execute point 3 and 4 until you have all fractions and their colors loaded into the plot buffer. If you want the scale under the total spectrum type pscale (Watch out! The default color in the color mode for the scale is white, change it to black.) Finish by typing page('
5. Send file to the printer or import into other programs
You are ready to send the file to the printer or import it to any program that takes postscript files. You may check whether you are satisfied with the plot from our Silicon Graphics by downloading the file with ftp and using xv on it.
Currently the color plotter is in the Duplicating Office. Pick up your plot between 8:00-12:00am and 1:00-5:00pm and sign the printer log.
