.hl 1 FUNCTION
 Two FORTRAN subroutines ONEPLT and ATOPLT allow a programmer to
plot graphs of one set of data against another using only one
subroutine call.
Either the Gould plotter or the Tektronix 4012 terminal can be used.
 ONEPLT draws one graph, plotting corresponding values from X and Y
arrays and representing each point by a symbol.
The points may optionally be joined by straight lines.
The graph is drawn in a standard sized box with a title along the
top edge.
The data will be scaled so that the graph fits neatly into the box, or
the user may specify the scaling.
Tick marks are drawn along each edge
and scale values are written at every second tick along the
axes.
The axes are titled, and if necessary the title will include an exponent
multiplier for the tick values.
 ATOPLT will super-impose up to 14 graphs on the one plot.
The data points are represented by different symbols which can be 
selected by the programmer.
All the points will be scaled to a single overall scale to fit into
the standard box.
Ranges of data for various graphs should therefore be compatible.
The
points of each graph may optionally be joined by straight lines.
The form of the plot is the same as for ONEPLT, except that ATOPLT
adds a notes box to the right of the graph.
The notes box contains an explanation for each symbol.
 A third subroutine, ATOPRM, allows the programmer to change the values of
parameters used by ONEPLT and ATOPLT in drawing the plot, if the
defaults are unsuitable.
The parameters whose values may be changed, and their default values,
are detailed in Appendix A.
 Other routines allow the plotting of the logarithms of data values,
plot text as tick labels instead of numbers and draw least
squares lines.
 A data set is defined, for the purposes of this document, as a set
of ordered co-ordinate pairs (X,Y) which will, when plotted, be identified by
the same centred symbol.
Different sets are represented by different symbols.

.lm 0;.hl 2 Plotting up to 14 Sets of Data on the Same Graph
 The data arrays X and Y contain the values for up to 14
data sets. 
The data sets are distinguished by introducing a third array, ISYM,
of the same size.  Each element of ISYM is an integer (1 to 14) which
indicates the data set to which the corresponding elements of X and
Y belong.
For example if ISYM(3), ISYM(6), and ISYM(14) contains the value 3 then
the points (X(3),Y(3)), (X(6),Y(6)), (X(14),Y(14)), belong to the same
data set.  The value of an element of ISYM also has a unique
correspondence with a symbol (see table of symbols in Appendix B),
and that symbol is used to plot all points in a particular data set.
For the example above, points (X(3), Y(3)), (X(6), Y(6)) and 
(X(14), Y(14)) will be represented by the symbol in the table
corresponding to integer 3.
This method allows the programmer to fill X and Y arrays in any order
he wishes, provided that he fills the ISYM array in the same order.
If any element of ISYM is negative the data point corresponding to that 
element will be joined to the previous data point of the same data set by a
straight line.
 Each data set can be identified by a title written in the notes box.
The titles are specified in the rows of the NOTES array, one title per symbol used.
The titles may each be up to 20 characters long, drawn in two lines
of ten characters each.
The note contained in the elements (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), of the 
array NOTES are associated  with the data set represented by the
lowest absolute valued symbol.
(2,1), (2,2), are associated with the second lowest valued
symbol and so on.
 The argument values are not altered by ATOPLT.

.hl 2 Changing Plotting Parameters
 There are 45 parameters in ONEPLT and ATOPLT
which may be set by the user to vary the way the graph is plotted.
This gives the user with special requirements considerable flexibility to
change the size, shape and details of the graph produced.
 The changeable parameters are numbered 1 to 45 (see Appendix A for
definitions and default values).  Default values are changed by a
call to the routine ATOPRM which identifies the parameters to be
altered and supplies new values.
A new value for any parameter remains in effect for all subsequent 
calls of ATOPLT and ONEPLT.
.b 2;.c;CALL ATOPRM(N,IP,XP)
.b;.lm +10;.i -10;N#########the number of elements in IP and XP (i.e. the
number of parameters to be changed), limit 45.

corresponding to the parameters to be changed.

parameters.
The new values must correspond in order with the identifying integers
in array IP.
.lm -10
.hl 2 Obtaining the Values of ATOPLT Parameters
.p;The current settings of the ATOPLT parameters can be read
by calling the ATOGET subroutine.
You will need to read the values if you want to change them by
ATOPRM and set them back to their original values later, or if
you are writing programs to work on different plotters whose
parameters may differ.

(7 corresponds to X axis tick size, 26 corresponds to Y axis
tick size, both set to default axis length), and half density lines
to be drawn, i.e. a half density grid will be drawn over the graph.
.pg;.p;The above example depends on the fixed numbers 220.0 and 280.0 as
the lengths of the Y and X axes, which is true for the Gould plotter
but not for the Tektronix.  The ATOGET subroutine could be used to find the
actual sizes of the axes, and the program would become independent of
plotter and any changes made to the axis length.

.pg
.hl 2 Plotting the Tick Values as Character Strings
.p;For some applications it is useful to be able to write a character
string at a tick instead of a number.  For example, '#Jan#' is more
meaningful than '1.0', if you are specifying monthly data.  This can
be done by calling the subroutine ATOCHL before you call ATOPLT or
ONEPLT.  In the call to ATOCHL, you specify an array containing the
labels to be used at successive ticks.  Each label is a maximum of
five characters and will be centred on the tick.  So that if your label
has three characters you should specify it as, e.g. '#Jan#'.
The first string is drawn at the origin and the strings are plotted
at every other tick.
.p;Character labels are meaningless unless you fill the values for
the ticks, so the ATOCHL call allows the programmer to specify the
increment and origin value too.  If you provide less labels than
there are ticks, ATOPLT will re-use your labels when it runs out.  So
if you provide '#Jan#' through to '#Dec#' and there are 24 positions, the
months will appear twice.
.p;Once ATOCHL has been used to set character labelling, it remains
in effect for all subsequent calls to ATOPLT and ONEPLT, until a second
call to ATOCHL is used to unset character labelling.

.f.pg
.hl 2 Plotting Logarithms of Data
.p;The logarithms of the data can be plotted by calling the subroutine
ATOLOG before calling ATOPLT or ONEPLT.
ATOLOG merely asks ATOPLT to use logarithms; it does not do any
plotting itself.
If during subsequent plotting any of the data to be plotted are negative a warning message
is typed and the point is ignored.

effect for all subsequent calls to ONEPLT or ATOPLT, until a

.hl 2 Plotting Least Squares Lines
.p;Users plotting results from experiments may find it useful to
add the linear least squares line that fits the data points.  Two
methods are available.  By calling the subroutine ATOLSQ before
calling ATOLPT or ONEPLT, the programmer can ask for a least
squares line to be fitted to any or all of his data sets.  By calling
ATOLSP, he can ask for a linear least squares line that passes 
through a fixed point, for example [0,0].
.p;After calls to ATOLSQ or ATOLSP, least squares lines will be
added to plots drawn by all subsequent calls to ATOPLT and ONEPLT
until a second call to ATOLSQ or ATOLSP sets the number of least
squares lines, N, to zero.

.hl 2 Plotting the Tick Values as Integers
.p;Tick values are normally plotted as REALs to 2 decimal places.  The programmer
can request INTEGER labels by setting the appropriate parameter
using ATOPRM:

	Parameter	Value
.b;.ts 29,41

.f.pg
.hl 2 Fixing the Tick Value Increment
.p;ATOPLT examines the data to be plotted and selects values for the
origin of each axis and the increment in the value for each tick, so
that axes cover the data as closely as possible while still giving
'sensible' numbers at each tick.
.p;Although the tick numbers are 'sensible' they may not be what
the user requires.  One way of getting better results is to specify
the increment in value for each tick by a call to ATOPRM.  To do
this effectively, you need to have some idea of the range of your
data and to be aware that ATOPLT writes the tick value on every
^&other\& tick, starting at the origin.  Therefore the specified increment should be half
the difference in numbers drawn at the ticks.  A tick value of 0.0 means 'not specified'.

.f.pg
.hl 2 Fixing One Tick Value
.p;Continuing on the same theme, to get a neat labelling for an
axis may require more than just fixing the increment.  For example,
fixing the increment at 1.0 may give you labels of 1.13, 2.13, 3.13,...,
whereas you would prefer 1.00, 2.00,...   To do this you can both fix the
increment and insist that a given value appears at one tick along the
axis.  In this case, you could say that 2.0 is to be a tick value.  Two
ATOPRM parameters must be used.  You must declare that you are fixing a tick
value and give the value.
.b 2;.nf;.ts 25,40
	Parameter	Value
.b;.ts 28,40
X-fix-value-flag	31	 1.0
X fixed value	35	value
Y-fix-value-flag	32	 1.0
Y fixed value	36	value
.b 2;.f;
ATOPLT uses your fixed value (and increment if specified) and
calculates an origin value and tick spacing so that the whole of
your data will fit on to the graph.

	END
.f.pg
.hl 2 Fixing the Origin and Windowing
.p;Another alternative is to specify the value at the origin of
the axis.  ATOPLT will "window" your data, that is, any data values
that fall below your origin will not be plotted and lines joining
these points to points on the graph will terminate at the graph
border.  If you specify a value increment as well, you are fixing
the values at the end-points of the axis, because the axis contains a fixed number of points (that can be calculated
from the axis length and the tick spacing) and data will be windowed at both ends
of the axis.

are 'plotter units' i.e. mm * magnification-factor unless otherwise stated.
.p;The physical size of the plot is determined by the paper size for the
Gould plotter and by the size of the screen for the Tektronix.  The
default parameters are defined so that the drawing fills the physical
plotting area.  The lengths of the various parameters are in plotter
units.  Normally these units are mm, but they can be altered by setting
magnification factors for each axis which affects all lines drawn
in that direction.
