AHELP for CIAO 3.4 l Context: chips

Synopsis

Defines the current label.

Syntax

chips> [D #] L {# [,#, ...] | #:# | ALL}

where # is an integer argument and #:# specifies an inclusive range of
label numbers.

Description

See the D command for more information about this argument.

If a non-existent label is specified, ChIPS will act on the current label.

Example 1

chips> CURVE data/exampleA.dat
chips> CURVE data/exampleB.dat
chips> LABEL 5.0 40.0 "Curve 1"
chips> LABEL 5.0 5.0 "Curve 2"
chips> LABEL YELLOW

Two curves are plotted and labeled; The first label ("Curve 1") is label number 1 and the second label is number 2. Label number 2 is also the current label, since it was most recently created. The command LABEL YELLOW acts on the current label (2), changing the color to yellow.

Example 2

chips> D 1 L 1
chips> LABEL BLUE

The command D 1 L 1 defines label number 1 as the current label, so that the command LABEL BLUE changes the color.

Example 3

chips> L 2
chips> LABEL SIZE 2.4

Label 2 is defined as the current label, then the size is changed to 2.4.

Bugs

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