/TX
pgplot.RESpk, pgplot.tfm where the
RES is a default value of 300 but may be set to something
else. If RES=300, then the default file names would be
pgplot.300pk and pgplot.tfm.
If more than 15 font characters are produced, then the file
names become pgplot_2.300pk and pgplot_2.tfm, etc.,
for each set of 15 characters output (i.e., for each PK
font produced).
PGPLOT_TX_YINCHES,
and PGPLOT_TX_XINCHES
$DEFINE PGPLOT_TX_XINCHES "5.0" $DEFINE PGPLOT_TX_YINCHES "4.5"would provide a view surface of 5.0 inches horizontally by 4.5 inches vertically.
PGPLOT_TX_XRESOL and PGPLOT_TX_YRESOL:
$DEFINE PGPLOT_TX_XRESOL "78.0" $DEFINE PGPLOT_TX_YRESOL "78.0"will produce a font at 78 dots per inch resolution. This would be good for a Vaxstation 2000 workstation. The default 300 dots per inch is good for a laser printer such as a QMS1200 LaserGrafix or an HP2000 LaserJet.
PGPLOT_TX_ORIENT = LANDSCAPE.)
PGPLOT_TX_BITFILE:
$ DEFINE PGPLOT_TX_BITFILE "MINIMAL"will produce a file copy of the portion of the bitmap which is within the minimal bounding box of the character.
$ DEFINE PGPLOT_TX_BITFILE "ALL"will produce a file copy of the complete bitmap of the graphics character.
pgplot.300pk
and pgplot.tfm then the following lines in your TeX code
would include the graph corresponding to the letter A
of the TeX PK font "PGPLOT" in the middle of your paper:
\font\myfntname=pgplot
This is sentence one of the TeX file.
Now I will include the character.
\centerline{\myfntname A }
This is the last sentence.
\bye
The above example for LaTeX would be:
This is the first sentence.
Now I will include the character as a figure.
\begin{figure}
\newfont{\myfntname}{pgplot}
\centerline{\myfntname A}
\caption{Letter A of PGPLOT font}
\end{figure}
This is the last sentence.
Of course, you must tell TeX and the DVI driver where to find your
fonts. On our VAX, we have defined a search list so that if you define
the logical TEX_USER_FONTS to be your directory where you keep your
fonts, then TeX and the DVI driver will find the pgplot.tfm file and
the pgplot.300pk file. So,
$DEFINE TEX_USER_FONTS SYS$USERDISK:[USERNAME.FONTS]would cause TeX and the DVI driver to search the normal search path and also the directory
SYS$USERDISK:[USERNAME.FONTS] for any fonts that you
specified in your TeX file. (Here is an exception for
UNIX. Our UNIX TeX and DVI programs will look in your
current directory automatically for the fonts and then
will check the system library if it cannot find the
fonts in your directory.)
pgplot.tfm
file would of course be the same in both cases, but the
DVI drivers would look for pgplot.300pk and pgplot.78pk
respectively). If you produce an image which is too large
(by defining logicals PGPLOT_TX_XINCHES and PGPLOT_TX_YINCHES)
then some DVI drivers will leave the page blank where the
graph of the character belongs (can sometimes use \hsize and
\vsize to help with this). Finally, if your device driver
only works with PXL files (like our PRINTRONIX DVI driver),
then you may want to run the PKTOPX program to convert
the PK Font into a PXL Font which your device driver needs.
