PLOT

The plot itself is done with command PLOT. Many options are available and the reader is invited to refer to the HELP for more details. One handy option is the /BOX nx ny that tells CLIC to use nx times ny boxes. One can provide code "*" for one of the arguments so that only the number of rows or columns is set.

Another interesting feature of plot is that the content of the plot buffer is available in SIC variables: X_DATA, Y_DATA and W_DATA containing respectively the X values, the Y values and the weights associated to each data point. These values can be used in procedures to do your own computations.

Two options further enrich the possibilities:

• PLOT /NODRAW will only update the plot buffers but will not produce a plot
• PLOT /SAME will not read data but use the plot buffers to do a plot

Hence one can modify the content of the plot buffers before plotting them.

Another useful option is /NOFRAME, that allow to not reset the plot before doing it, which in effect allows to overplot some another set of data on top of a previous plot (with another color if wanted).
