HARDCOPY

 

        [GTVL\]HARDCOPY [File] [/DEVICE FirstName SecondName]
        [/PLOT Destination Aspect]

    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 /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 /PLOT option is used to force  immediate  plotting  and  to  control
    which  plotter  should  be used. Plotter is the plotter name, and Aspect
    can be AUTO (default) for automatic scaling, or EXACT  to  preserve  the
    size  of the plot (1 cm in GreG = 1 cm of the 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.
