[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.
