Open a new file for display in the plot window. See File formats for more information on the kinds
of files xdatplot reads. See the file selection
dialog for more information on the dialog box.
Save an xdp file. Note: this file does not contain the data
displayed in the plot window -- it only has a pointer to the data
file. For more information, see xdp
files. See the file selection
dialog for more information on the dialog box.
The meaning of the choices should be pretty obvious, but if not, try
them out. It assumes 8.5 X 11 inch paper, but should work about right
for A4. (The plots won't be centered quite right.) Someday I should
make this a configurable resource.
Export MIF writes the current plot window in Maker Interchange
Format. The resulting file can be read into FrameMaker, a desktop
publishing package from Frame Technology. See the file selection dialog for more information
on the dialog box.
File Export Postscript... writes the current plot window as
Postscript. The file can be sent to a printer, or converted to
encapsulated postscript by ghostscript, then imported into many other
graphics and publishing programs. (ghostscript is a display
postscript available free from GNU. It would be nice if xdatplot
produced encapsulated postscript directly; it may happen someday.)
The dialog box is just a File Print... dialog
inside a file selection dialog box.
