Plotting Files in NeXtMidas:
The
PLOT
command is used for plotting files, pipes, images and maps.
PLOT
automatically determines how to plot a files by its' type. For example:
By default Midas type 1000 files are line plots.
By default Midas type 2000 files are raster plots.
In many cases, how the file is plotted can be overridden with the
TYPE=
input.
nM> plot fftdemo{FS=10} type=raster
Mouse Interaction
The middle mouse button (MMB) is generally used to popup menus on
PLOT
. In fact, this is generally how it is throughout NeXtMidas graphics.
See
Mouse Interaction in a Plot
for more details.
