Set axes so that the actual x and y axes will be drawn with a space

Set type of arrow, according to the value of `<font color="#82140F"><code>.which.</code></font>', rounded to
the nearest integer. A rounded `<font color="#82140F"><code>.which.</code></font>' value of 0 yields the
default arrows, drawn with three line strokes. Value 1 yields outlined
arrows, sometimes used on definition sketches. Value 2 yields filled,
swept-back arrow heads.
<p>
This command uses the ``line join'' parameters that are presently active
(see <a href="Set.html#SetLineJoin">Set Line Join</a>). So, by default, the arrow ends are rounded
(because the default line-join parameter is 1). To get pointy ends,
first set the line join parameter to 0.

</TABLE>
<p>
Set the PostScript bounding box for the graph to the indicated values. The
bounding box is used by some programs to determine the region of the
page on which marks have been made. For example, LaTeX uses the
bounding box to decide how to position figures in documents.
<p>
Normally, the bounding box is computed automatically unless the
`<font color="#82140F"><code>-no_bounding_box</code></font>' commandline option has been specified;
(see <a href="InvokingGri.html#InvokingGri">Invoking Gri</a>). But if `<font color="82140F"><code>set bounding box</code></font>' is
done, the automatically computed value is ignored and the given box is
used instead. Use this if Gri makes mistakes in its automatic selection
of bounding box.
<p>
The coordinates of the bounding box may be specified in (1) user
coordinates, as defined <b>at the moment</b> the command is executed, or
(2) in points on the page, measured from an origin at the lower-left
(72 point per inch), or (3) in centimeters on the page. Which coordinate
system is used depends on the last keyword -- use `<font color="#82140F"><code>pt</code></font>' for points,
`<font color="#82140F"><code>cm</code></font>' for centimeters, and nothing at all for user-units.
<p>
The most common use is in points, since that is how many other
application packages, e.g. LaTeX and dvips, specify the bounding box.
<p>
If the box is specified in the user units, the user units in effect
<b>at the moment</b> of executing the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set bounding box</code></font>' command
are used. This must be born in mind if the coordinate system is
changing during the execution of the program, e.g. if margins are
changing or the x and y axes are changing. For this reason it often
makes sense to put this command at the end of the commandfile.

By default, contour labels are drawn at the location 1 cm into the
contour curve, measured from the startpoint of the contour (e.g., for

this uniform distance is the average dimension of the plotting area
inside the axes. If `<font color="#82140F"><code>.start_cm.</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.between_cm.</code></font>' are

The syntax is the same as `<font color="#82140F"><code>set color</code></font>', except that this applies to
text only. By default, text is drawn in the same color as lines, so
text color is changed as line color is changed (e.g. by using the

endpoints, but if an increment is supplied, the colors are quantized.
The HSB method allows creation of spectral palettes, while the other two
methods create simple blending between the two endpoints.

image, scaling it from black for the mininum value in the image to white

<p>
The optional parameters `<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.bl.</code></font>' specify the values
to be drawn in white and black in the image, with smooth linear blending
in between.
<p>
Normally the blending from white to black is smooth (linear), but if the
additional optional parameter `<font color="#82140F"><code>.inc.</code></font>' is specified, the blending is
quantized, jumping to darker values at (`<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' + `<font color="#82140F"><code>.inc.</code></font>'),
(`<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' + 2* `<font color="#82140F"><code>.inc.</code></font>'), etc. (The sign of `<font color="#82140F"><code>.inc.</code></font>' will be
altered, if necessary, to ensure that (`<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' + `<font color="#82140F"><code>.inc.</code></font>') is
between `<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.inc.</code></font>'.) The colour switches to pure
white at the value `<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>', and remains pure white everywhere on the
"white" side of this value. Similarly, the transition to pure black
occurs at the value `<font color="#82140F"><code>.bl.</code></font>'. In other words, neither pure white nor
pure black is present inside the interval from `<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' to
`<font color="#82140F"><code>.bl.</code></font>'. Therefore, when using the `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image palette</code></font>'

<p>
Specify maximum possible range of values that images can hold, in user
units. Gri needs to know this because it stores images in a limited
format capable of holding only 256 distinct values. Unlike some other
programs, Gri encourages (forces) the user to specify things in terms of
user-units, not image-units. This has the advantage of working
regardless of the number of bits per pixel. Thus, for example,
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set image grayscale</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image colorscale</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image grayscale</code></font>', etc, all use <b>user</b> units.
<p>
When an image is created by `<font color="#82140F"><code>convert grid to image</code></font>', values outside
the range spanned by `<font color="#82140F"><code>.0value.</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.255value.</code></font>' are clipped.
(There is no need, however, for `<font color="#82140F"><code>.0value.</code></font>' to be less than
`<font color="#82140F"><code>.255value.</code></font>'.) This clipping discards information, so make sure
the range you give is larger than the range of data in the grid.
<p>
EXAMPLE: consider a satellite image in which an internal value of 0 is
meant to correspond to 0 degrees Celsius, and an internal value of 255
corresponds to 25.5 degrees. (This is a common scale.) Then the Gri
command `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image range 0 25.5</code></font>' would establish the required
range. If this range were combined with a linear grayscale mapping (see
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set image grayscale</code></font>'), the resultant granularity in the internal
representation of the user values would be (25.5-0)/255 or 0.1 degrees
Celsius; temperature variations from pixel to pixel which were less than
0.1 degrees would be lost.
<p>
All other image commands <b>require</b> that the range has been set.
Thus, all these commands fail unless `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image range</code></font>' has been
done: `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image palette</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>read image</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>convert grid to image</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image grayscale</code></font>', and
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set image colorscale</code></font>'.
<p>
NOTE: If a range already exists when `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image range</code></font>' is used,
then the settings are altered. Thoughtless usage can therefore lead to
confusing results. (The situation is like setting an axis scale,
plotting a curve with no axes, then altering the scale and plotting the
new axes. It is legal but not necessarily smart.)

<p>
Set the separator between data items. The `<font color="#82140F"><code>default</code></font>' method is to
assume that data items are separated by one or more spaces or tabs, and
also to ignore any spaces or tabs at the start of a data line.
<p>
In the `<font color="#82140F"><code>TAB</code></font>' method the data are assumed to be separated by a
SINGLE tab character. (Multiple tabs will result in null values being
assigned to items -- almost certainly not what you want!) Also, initial
spaces and tabs on lines are NOT skipped.
<p>
Use the `<font color="#82140F"><code>TAB</code></font>' method only after thinking carefully about the above,
since the assignment of null values is problematic.

Set the width of lines used to draw curves (default), axes, symbols, or
all of the above. The width may be set to a value specified in points
(conversion: 72 pt = 1 inch), to a named rapidograph width, or to the
default value. The initial default values are: 0.709pt (or rapidograph
3x0) for curves; 0.369pt (or rapidograph 6x0) for axes; 0.369pt (or
rapidograph 6x0) for symbols. (To learn more about standard
pen widths, see the ISO 9175-1 documents.)
<p>
If your figure is to be reproduced by a journal, you should check with
them about the range of line thicknesses they recommend. This will, of
course, depend on whether your figure is reduced or enlarged during
reproduction. For example, American Geophysical Union (publishers of
J. Geophysical Res.) recommends that one use line thicknesses no less
than 0.5 points and no more than 4 points.
<p>
The rapidograph settings match the standard set of widths used in
technical fountain pens. The table below gives width names along with
the width in points and centimetres, as given in the specifications
supplied with Rapidograph technical fountain pens. Names marked by the
symbol `<font color="#82140F"><code>*</code></font>' are in sequence increasing by the factor root(2). Texts
on technical drawing often suggest using linewidths in the ratio of 2 or
root(2). On many printers, the variation in width from root(2) increase
is too subtle to see, so the factor-of-2 rule may be preferable. To get
sizes in a sequence doubling in width, pick from the list (`<font color="#82140F"><code>6x0</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>3x0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>1</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>3.5</code></font>' `<font color="#82140F"><code>7</code></font>'). To get a sequence
increasing in width by root(2), pick from the list (`<font color="#82140F"><code>6x0</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>4x0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>3x0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>1</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>2.5</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>3.5</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>6</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>7</code></font>'). The eye can distinguish curves with linewidths
differing by a factor of root(2) if the image is of high quality, but a
factor of 2 is usually better. Similarly, for overhead projections and
projected slides, one would do well to use linewidths differing by a
factor of 4.

Set the directory path that `<font color="#82140F"><code>open</code></font>' will search for data files, or

`<font color="#82140F"><code>.</code></font>' character.
<p>
The path is formatted in a colon-separated manner, following the normal
Unix convention, and searching is from left to right. For example, the
path `<font color="#82140F"><code>".:/usr/lib/gri"</code></font>' tells Gri to search for the file first in
the local directory (named `<font color="#82140F"><samp>.</samp></font>'), and if it is not found there, to
look next in the directory named `<font color="#82140F"><samp>/usr/lib/gri</samp></font>'.
<p>
The indicated path is stored in either `<font color="#82140F"><code>\.path_data.</code></font>' or
`<font color="#82140F"><code>\.path_commands.</code></font>', as appropriate. At startup time, each of these
paths is set to `<font color="#82140F"><samp>"."</samp></font>', the current directory, and this value is
reset if the `<font color="#82140F"><code>default</code></font>' keyword is provided to this command.

have negative margins, with the expected effect.
<p>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin bigger .size.</code></font>'
Increases bottom margin by `<font color="#82140F"><code>.size.</code></font>' centimeters.
<p>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin smaller .size.</code></font>'
Decreases bottom margin by `<font color="#82140F"><code>.size.</code></font>' centimeters.
<p>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin default</code></font>'
Set bottom margin to default = 6 cm.

<ul>
<p>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y type linear</code></font>'
Set to linear axis.
<p>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y type log</code></font>'
Set to log axis. To avoid clashes in the linear to log transform, this
command should precede the creation of an axis scale, either explicitly
through the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y axis .left. .right. ...</code></font>' command or implicitly
through the `<font color="#82140F"><code>read columns</code></font>' command.
<p>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y type map N|S|E|W</code></font>'
Set to be a map. This means that whole numbers on the axis will have a
degree sign written after them (and then the letter `<font color="#82140F"><code>N</code></font>', etc), and
that numbers which are multiples of 1/60 will be written in
degree-minute format, and that similarly numbers which are divisible by
1/3600 will be in degree-minute-second format. If none of these things
apply, the axis labels will be written in decimal degrees. Note that
this command overrides any format set by `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y format</code></font>'.
<p>
BUG: this only has an effect if the axis is not already of type
`<font color="#82140F"><code>log</code></font>'.
