These variables control the numerous plotting modes and capabilities of the plot, hardcopy, xgraph, and asciiplot commands. Most of these variables can be set indirectly from the Plot Defs panel and the Colors panel in the Tools menu of the Tool Control window.
The ``name'' for a color can be given in HTML-style notation: #rrggbb, where rr, gg, bb are the hex values for the red, green and blue component of the color.

These drivers correspond to the drivers available in the format menu of the Print panel from the plot windows.
For PostScript, the line draw drivers are most appropriate for SPICE plots. The bitmap formats will work, but are less efficient for simple line drawings. More information on these drivers can be found in 3.10.1.
For Microsoft Windows, the default (when plotgeom is unset) width and height are 500, 300 and these apply to the whole window. Due to Microsoft's silly and unnecessary conversion to ``dialog units'', the actual pixel size may be slightly different.
For others, the default width and height are 400, 300 and these apply to the plotting area only.
The acceptable numbers for the width and height are 100--2000. In the string form, a non-numeric character can separate the two numbers, e.g., "300x400" is ok.
set plotposn0 = ( 100 200 )or as a string, as in
set plotposn2 = "150 250".The N can range from 0-15. If not set, the plots are positioned by an internal algorithm.
linplot | Connect points with line segments |
combplot | Connect each point to the X-axis |
pointplot | Plot each point as a discrete glyph |
multi | Use separate Y-scales for each trace (the default) |
single | Use common Y-scale for all traces |
group | Use same scale for voltages, currents, and others |
