AHELP for CIAO 3.4 batch Context: chips

Synopsis

Turns on/off use of a plotting device.

Syntax

chips> BATCH {ON | OFF}

By default, BATCH is turned off (use of a plotting device is turned on).

Example

chips> BATCH ON
chips> CURVE data/example.dat
chips> PRINT POSTFILE batch.myplot.ps

By turning on the BATCH command, use of a plotting device is turned off. This means that when the CURVE command is issued, the plotting device is not opened. The results of the CURVE command (and any other ChIPS commands that are issued) may still be printed to a PostScript file using the PRINT command.

Bugs

See the bugs page for ChIPS on the CIAO website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
