HARDCOPY
[GTVL\]HARDCOPY [File] [/DEVICE FirstName SecondName]
[/PLOT Destination ] [/LANDSCAPE] [/PORTRAIT] [/EXACT]
Creates (and optionally plots) a "hardcopy" of the current plot. The
plot is not destroyed and can be appended later by new plot commands.
The default behaviour is to scale the GreG PLOT_PAGE (centimeters) into
the output physical page. This behaviour can be overridden by the
/EXACT option, and in a restricted manner by the /LANDSCAPE and
/PORTRAIT options.
The /DEVICE option first argument specifies which type of plotter will
be used. The same devices recognized by command DEVICE are allowed for
this option. PrimaryName usually indicate the graphic protocol supported
by the device, and SecondaryName a variant of this protocol. For example
HARDCOPY File/DEVICE PS COLOR
is used to create a Postscript file with full color support. The device
First and Second names are defined in the file "GAG_TERMINAL" that
describes, in binary format, the protocol and options relative to all
the devices locally supported. Changes to this file are done by the
system manager using the gtvdef program.
The /PLOT option is used to force immediate plotting and, optionnaly, to
control which plotter should be used. Plotter is the plotter name, which
defaults to the content of the logical name "GAG_PLOTTER". If no file
name was specified for an immediate plotting, the metacode file is
deleted after plot completion, otherwise it is kept.
Default type and destination can be controlled by logical names
GAG_HARDCOPY and GAG_PLOTTER, in the user, local or global
dictionnaries.
