, or in a way which may be pasted back into Pyxplot, e.g. 2*unit(m).
numErr Possible values: on, off.
Analogous set command: set numerics
Sets whether explicit error messages are thrown when calculations yield undefined results, as in the cases of division by zero or the evaluation of functions in regions where they are undefined or infinite. If explicit error messages are disabled, such calculations quietly return nan.
numSF Possible values: Any integer between 0 and 30.
Analogous set command: set numerics
Sets the number of significant figures to which numerical quantities are displayed by default.
originX Possible values: Any floating point number.
Analogous set command: set origin
Sets the horizontal position, in centimetres, of the default origin of plots on the page. Most useful when multiplotting many plots.
originY Possible values: Any floating point number.
Analogous set command: set origin
Sets the vertical position, in centimetres, of the default origin of plots on the page. Most useful when multiplotting many plots.
output Possible values: Any string (case sensitive).
Analogous set command: set output
Sets the output filename for plots. If blank, the default filename of pyxplot.foo is used, where foo is an extension appropriate for the file format.
paperHeight Possible values: Any floating-point number.
Analogous set command: set papersize
Sets the height of the papersize for PostScript output in millimetres.
paperName Possible values: A string matching any of the papersizes listed in Chapter 6.
Analogous set command: set papersize
Sets the papersize for PostScript output to one of the pre-defined papersizes listed in Chapter 6.
paperWidth Possible values: Any floating-point number.
Analogous set command: set papersize
Sets the width of the papersize for PostScript output in millimetres.
pointLineWidth Possible values: Any floating-point number.
Analogous set command: set pointlinewidth
Sets the linewidth used to stroke points onto plots, as a multiple of the default.
pointSize Possible values: Any floating-point number.
Analogous set command: set pointsize
Sets the sizes of points on plots, as a multiple of their normal sizes.
samples Possible values: Any integer.
Analogous set command: set samples
Sets the number of samples (datapoints) to be evaluated along the abscissa axis when plotting a function.
samples_method Possible values: inverseSquare, monaghanLattanzio, nearestNeighbor.
Analogous set command: set samples
Sets the method used to interpolate two-dimensional non-gridded arrays of datapoints from datafiles within the interpolate command and when plotting using the colormap, contourmap and surface plot styles.
samples_x Possible values: Any integer.
Analogous set command: set samples
Sets the number of samples (datapoints) to be evaluated along the first abscissa axis when drawing color maps and surfaces, and when calculating contour maps.
samples_x_auto Possible values: true, false.
Analogous set command: set samples
Sets whether the number of samples (datapoints) to be evaluated along the first abscissa axis when drawing color maps and surfaces, and when calculating contour maps should follow the number of samples set with the set samples command.
samples_y Possible values: Any integer.
Analogous set command: set samples
Sets the number of samples (datapoints) to be evaluated along the second abscissa axis when drawing color maps and surfaces, and when calculating contour maps.
samples_y_auto Possible values: true, false.
Analogous set command: set samples
Sets whether the number of samples (datapoints) to be evaluated along the second abscissa axis when drawing color maps and surfaces, and when calculating contour maps should follow the number of samples set with the set samples command.
termAntiAlias Possible values: on, off.
Analogous set command: set terminal
Sets whether output sent to the bitmapped graphics output terminals – i.e. the bmp, jpeg, gif, png and tif terminals – is antialiased. Antialiasing smooths the color boundaries to disguise the effects of pixelisation and is almost invariably desirable.
termEnlarge Possible values: on, off.
Analogous set command: set terminal
When set to on output is enlarged or shrunk to fit the current paper size.
termInvert Possible values: on, off.
Analogous set command: set terminal
Sets whether jpeg/gif/png output has normal colors (off), or inverted colors (on).
termTransparent Possible values: on, off.
Analogous set command: set terminal
Sets whether jpeg/gif/png output has transparent background (on), or solid background (off).
termType Possible values: bmp, eps, gif, jpg, pdf, png, ps, svg, tif, X11_multiWindow, X11_persist, X11_singleWindow.
Analogous set command: set terminal
Sets whether output is sent to the screen, using one of the X11_... terminals, or to disk. In the latter case, output may be produced in a wide variety of graphical formats.
textColor Possible values: Any recognised color.
Analogous set command: set textcolor
Sets the color of all text output.
textHAlign Possible values: left, center, right.
Analogous set command: set texthalign
Sets the horizontal alignment of text labels to their given reference positions.
textVAlign Possible values: top, center, bottom.
Analogous set command: set textvalign
Sets the vertical alignment of text labels to their given reference positions.
title Possible values: Any string (case sensitive).
Analogous set command: set title
Sets the title to appear at the top of the plot.
title_xOff Possible values: Any floating point number.
Analogous set command: set title
Sets the horizontal offset of the title of the plot from its default central location.
title_yOff Possible values: Any floating point number.
Analogous set command: set title
Sets the vertical offset of the title of the plot from its default location at the top of the plot.
tRange_log Possible values: true, false.
Analogous set command: set logscale t
Sets whether the t
