    extern window ;

    /* DOCUMENT window, n, display="host:server.screen", dpi=100/75, wait=0/1,

                           private=0/1, hcp="hcp_filename", dump=0/1,
                           legends=1/0, style="style_sheet_filename",

                           width=wpixels,height=hpixels,rgb=1

         select window N as the current graphics output window.  N may

         range from 0 to 7, inclusive.  Each graphics window corresponds to

         an X window, and optionally has its own associated hardcopy file.
         If N is omitted, it defaults to the current coordinate system.

         The X window will appear on your default display at 75 dpi, unless

         you specify the display and/or dpi keywords.  A dpi=100 X window

         is larger than a dpi=75 X window; both represent the same thing

         on paper.  Use display="" to create a graphics window which has

         no associated X window (you should do this if you want to make

         plots in a non-interactive batch mode).

         By default, if the X window needs to be created, the graphics area

         will be 450x450 pixels if dpi=75, or 600x600 pixels if dpi=100,
         representing a 6x6 inch square on hardcopy paper.  You can override

         this default initial size using the width and height keywords.

         These settings remain in force indefinitely; use width=0,height=0
         to return to the default dpi-dependent behavior.  For a dpi=75,

         landscape=0 window, width=638,height=825 displays the entire sheet
         of hardcopy paper.  Supplying these keywords will not change the

         size of an existing window; only newly created windows.

         By default, an X window will attempt to use shared colors, which
         permits several Yorick graphics windows (including windows from
         multiple instances of Yorick) to use a common palette.  You can

         force an X window to post its own colormap (set its colormap
         attribute) with the private=1 keyword.  You will most likely have

         to fiddle with your window manager to understand how it handles
         colormap focus if you do this.  Use private=0 to return to shared
         colors.

         By default, Yorick will not wait for the X window to become visible;

         code which creates a new window, then plots a series of frames to

         that window should use wait=1 to assure that all frames are actually
         plotted.

         By default, a graphics window does NOT have a hardcopy file
         of its own -- any request for hardcopy are directed to the

         default hardcopy file, so hardcopy output from any window goes

         to a single file.  By specifying the hcp keyword, however, a

         hardcopy file unique to this window will be created.  If the
         "hcp_filename" ends in ".ps", the hardcopy file will be a PostScript
         file; otherwise, hardcopy files are in binary CGM format.  Use

         hcp="" to revert to the default hardcopy file (closing the window
         specific file, if any).  The legends keyword, if present, controls
         whether the curve legends are (legends=1, the default) or are not
         (legends=0) dumped to the hardcopy file.  The dump keyword, if
         present, controls whether all colors are converted to a gray scale,

         (dump=0), or the current palette is dumped at the beginning of each
         page of hardcopy output (dump=1, the default).  (The legends keyword
         applies to all pictures dumped to hardcopy from this graphics
         window.  The dump keyword applies only to the specific hardcopy

         file defined using the hcp keyword -- use the dump keyword in the

         hcp_file command to get the same effect in the default hardcopy
         file.)

         Use rgb=1 to set the rgb color model when you are creating a

         window on an 8-bit display on which you intend to use three

         component rgb colors (see color).  This installs the 5x9x5

         colorcube and avoids having to issue the palette command

         after the first true color object has been drawn.

         If both display="" and hcp="", the graphics window will be
         entirely eliminated.

         The style keyword, if present, specifies the name of a Gist style
         sheet file; the default is "work.gs".  The style sheet determines
         the number and location of coordinate systems, tick and label styles,

         and the like.  Other choices include "axes.gs", "boxed.gs",
         "work2.gs", and "boxed2.gs".

         If invoked as a function, window(...) returns the current
         window number.

         binary CGM file.  By default, the hardcopy file name will be
         "Aa00.cgm", or "Ab00.cgm" if that exists, or "Ac00.cgm" if both
         exist, and so on.  The default hardcopy file gets hardcopy from all
         graphics windows which do not have their own specific hardcopy file

         (see the window command).  If the dump keyword is present and non-zero,

         the current palette will be dumped at the beginning of each frame
         of the default hardcopy file (default behavior).  With dump=0,
         all colors are converted to a gray scale, and the output files are

         smaller because no palette information is included.

         Use ps=1 to make "Aa00.ps", "Ab00.ps", etc by default instead of CGM.
         The dump= and ps= settings persist until explicitly changed by a

    	 or palette, red, green, blue, gray, query=1

         sets (or retrieves with query=1) the palette for the current

         graphics window.  The FILENAME is the name of a Gist palette file;
         the standard palettes are "earth.gp", "stern.gp", "rainbow.gp",
         "heat.gp", "gray.gp", and "yarg.gp".  Use the maxcolors keyword

         in the pldefault command to put an upper limit on the number of

         colors which will be read from the palette in FILENAME.

         In the second form, the palette for the current window is copied

         from the SOURCE_WINDOW_NUMBER.  If the X colormap for the window is
         private, there will still be two separate X colormaps for the two

         windows, but they will have the same color values.

         In the third form, RED, GREEN, and BLUE are 1-D arrays of the same

         length specifying the palette you wish to install; the values

         should vary between 0 and 255, and your palette should have no
         more than 240 colors.  If ntsc=0, monochrome devices (such as most
         laser printers) will use the average brightness to translate your
         colors into gray; otherwise, the NTSC (television) averaging will
         be used (.30*RED+.59*GREEN+.11*BLUE).  Alternatively, you can specify
         GRAY explicitly.

         Ordinarily, the palette is not dumped to a hardcopy file

         (color hardcopy is still rare and expensive), but you can

         force the palette to dump using the window or hcp_file commands.

         See the dump= keyword for the hcp_file and window commands if you

         are having trouble getting color in your hardcopy files.

         In animation mode, the X window associated with a graphics window

         when an fma command is issued.  This is confusing unless you are

         actually trying to make a movie, but results in smoother animation

         if you are.  Generally, you should turn animation on, run your movie,

         plotted in absolute NDC coordinates outside of any coordinate
         system.  The default style sheet "work.gs" defines only a single

         coordinate system, so the only other choice is N equal 1.  You

         can make up your own style sheet (using a text editor) which
         defines mulitple coordinate systems.  You need to do this if
         you want to display four plots side by side on a single page,
         for example.  The standard style sheets "work2.gs" and "boxed2.gs"
         define two overlayed coordinate systems with the first labeled

         to the right of the plot and the second labeled to the left of
         the plot.  When using overlayed coordinate systems, it is your

         responsibility to ensure that the x-axis limits in the two
         systems are identical.

         The Z array must have the same shape as Y and X, or one smaller

         with the bytscl function.

         (See the bytscl function for explanation of top, cmin, cmax.)

         The mesh is drawn with each zone in the color derived from the Z

         function and the current palette; thus Z is interpreted as a
         zone-centered array.

         As for pli and plfp, Z may also be a 3x(NX-1)x(NY-1) array

         A solid edge can optionally be drawn around each zone by setting
         the EDGES keyword non-zero.  ECOLOR and EWIDTH determine the edge

         color and width.  The mesh is drawn zone by zone in order from
         IREG(2+imax) to IREG(jmax*imax) (the latter is IREG(imax,jmax)),
         so you can achieve 3D effects by arranging for this order to
         coincide with back-to-front order.  If Z is nil, the mesh zones

         are filled with the background color, which you can use to

         Note that the pledit command takes dx and/or dy keywords to

         The characters ^, _, and ! are treated specially in TEXT.

         ^ begins a superscript, _ begins a subscript, and ! causes the

         special cases, !^, !_, and !! render the ^, _, and ! characters
         themselves.  However, if ! is the final character of TEXT
         (or immediately before a newline in multiline text), it
         loses its special meaning.  TEXT has just three modes: ordinary,
         superscript, and subscript.  A ^ character enters superscript
         mode from ordinary or subscript mode, and returns to ordinary

         mode from superscript mode.  A _ enters subscript mode, except
         from subscript mode it returns to ordinary mode.  For example,
         Euclid said, "!pr^2", and Einstein said, "G_!s!n_=8!pT_!s!n".

         make the corresponding limit take on the extreme value of the
         currently displayed data.

         If present, the square keyword determines whether limits marked
         as extreme values will be adjusted to force the x and y scales
         to be equal (square=1) or not (square=0, the default).

         If present, the nice keyword determines whether limits will be
         adjusted to nice values (nice=1) or not (nice=0, the default).
         There is a subtlety in the meaning of "extreme value" when one

         or both of the limits on the OPPOSITE axis have fixed values --

         does the "extreme value" of the data include points which
         will not be plotted because their other coordinate lies outside
         the fixed limit on the opposite axis (restrict=0, the default),
         or not (restrict=1)?

         If called as a function, limits returns an array of 5 doubles;
         OLD_LIMITS(1:4) are the current xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax,
         and int(OLD_LIMITS(5)) is a set of flags indicating extreme

         values and the square, nice, restrict, and log flags.

         In the fourth form, OLD_LIMITS is as returned by a previous

         limits call, to restore the limits to a previous state.

         In an X window, the limits may also be adjusted interactively
         with the mouse.  Drag left to zoom in and pan (click left to zoom
         in on a point without moving it), drag middle to pan, and click
         (and drag) right to zoom out (and pan).  If you click just above

         or below the plot, these operations will be restricted to the
         x-axis; if you click just to the left or right, the operations
         are restricted to the y-axis.  A shift-left click, drag, and

         release will expand the box you dragged over to fill the plot
         (other popular software zooms with this paradigm).  If the
         rubber band box is not visible with shift-left zooming, try
         shift-middle or shift-right for alternate XOR masks.  Such

         mouse-set limits are equivalent to a limits command specifying

         all four limits EXCEPT that the unzoom command can revert to

         the limits before a series of mouse zooms and pans.

         The limits you set using the limits or range functions carry over

         to the next plot -- that is, an fma operation does NOT reset the
         limits to extreme values.

         to plot your own custom set of tick marks when the automatic tick
         generating machinery will never give the ticks you want.  For example
         a latitude axis in degrees might reasonably be labeled "0, 30, 60,
         90", but the automatic machinery considers 3 an "ugly" number - only

         1, 2, and 5 are "pretty" - and cannot make the required scale.  In
         this case, you can turn off the automatic ticks and labels, and use

         plsys, pldj, and plt to generate your own.)
         To fiddle with the tick flags in this general manner, set the
         0x200 bit of FLAG (or XFLAG or YFLAG), and "or-in" the 0x1ff bits
         however you wish.  The meaning of the various flags is described

         in the file Y_SITE/gist/work.gs.  Additionally, you can use the
         0x400 bit to turn on or off the frame drawn around the viewport.
         Here are some examples:

            gridxy,0x233        work.gs default setting

            gridxy,,0x200       like work.gs, but no y-axis ticks or labels

            gridxy,0x62b        boxed.gs default setting

         The three keywords base60=, degrees=, and hhmm= can be used to get
         alternative tick intervals for base 60 systems instead of the

         usual base 10 systems.  The keyword values are 0 to restore the
         default behavior, 1 to set the feature for the x axis, 2 to set it
         for the y axis, and 3 to set it for both axes.  The base60 feature
         allows ticks and labels at multiples of 30 (up to +-3600).  The
         degrees feature causes labels to be printed modulo 360 (so that a
         scale which runs from, say, 90 to 270 will be printed as 90 to 180
         then -180 to -90, mostly for longitude scales).  The hhmm feature
         causes labels to be printed in the form hh:mm (so that, for example,
         150 will be printed as 02:30, mostly for time of day scales).

         or a 0-origin index into the current palette.  The default is "fg".
         Negative numbers may be used instead of the strings: -1 is bg
         (background), -2 is fg (foreground), -3 is black, -4 is white,
         -5 is red, -6 is green, -7 is blue, -8 is cyan, -9 is magenta, and
         -10 is yellow.  (The negative numbers are actually taken modulo
         256, so -1 is also 255, -2 is 254, and so on.)

         A color can also be a triple [r, g, b], with values running from
         0 for dark to 255 for full intensity.  Beware, however, of

         specifying an rgb color (either as a color keyword or to the

         plf, pli, or plfp commands) if your display is not a true color
         display (for example, if it is 8 bits deep or less).  In that

         case, it may switch to a 5x9x5 color cube, which causes a

         significant degradation in quality of rendering with smooth

         color palettes.  Furthermore, the hcp command will not work
         properly for rgb colors if the file is a CGM.  Use the rgb=1

         keyword in the window command to avoid having to re-issue a

         palette command after the first rgb object is drawn (this is

         unnecessary on true color screens).

         "courier", "times", "helvetica" (the default), "symbol", or
         "schoolbook".  Append "B" for boldface and "I" for italic, so
         "courierB" is boldface Courier, "timesI" is Times italic, and
         "helveticaBI" is bold italic (oblique) Helvetica.  Your X server
         should have the Adobe fonts (available free from the MIT X
         distribution tapes) for all these fonts, preferably at both 75
         and 100 dpi.  Occasionally, a PostScript printer will not be
         equipped for some fonts; often New Century Schoolbook is missing.

         The font keyword may also be an integer: 0 is Courier, 4 is Times,
         8 is Helvetica, 12 is Symbol, 16 is New Century Schoolbook, and
         you add 1 to get boldface and/or 2 to get italic (or oblique).

         The height is the font size in points; 14.0 is the default.
         X windows only has 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 point fonts, so
         don't stray from these sizes if you want what you see on the

         screen to be a reasonably close match to what will be printed.

         By default, opaque=0 and text is transparent.  Set opaque=1 to

         white-out a box before drawing the text.  The default orient

         (orient=0) is left-to-right text; set orient=1 for text rotated 90

         degrees so it reads upward, orient=2 for 180 degree rotation so

         it is upside down, and orient=3 for 270 degree rotation so it
         reads downward.

         The default text justification, justify="NN" is normal is both
         the horizontal and vertical directions.  Other possibilities
         are "L", "C", or "R" for the first character, meaning left,
         center, and right horizontal justification, and "T", "C", "H",
         "A", or "B", meaning top, capline, half, baseline, and bottom
         vertical justification.  The normal justification "NN" is equivalent
         to "LA".  Common values are "LA", "CA", and "RA" for garden variety
         left, center, and right justified text, with the y coordinate at the
         baseline of the last line in the string presented to plt.  The

         characters labeling the right axis of a plot are "RH", so that the
         y value of the text will match the y value of the corresponding

         tick.  Similarly, the characters labeling the bottom axis of a plot

         are "CT".  The justify= may also be a number, horizontal+vertical,

         where horizontal is 0 for "N", 1 for "L", 2 for "C", or 3 for "R",
         and vertical is 0 for "N", 4 for "T", 8 for "C", 12 for "H",

         in saddle zones, in which the function Z being contoured has two
         diagonally opposite corners high, and the other two corners low.

         The triangulation array element for a zone is 0 if the algorithm is
         to choose a triangulation, based on the curvature of the first

         algorithm as follows: labs=0 supresses all labels, labs=n forces
         a label at every nth interface, labs=[i,n] forces a label at every

         nth interface starting from interface i (0<=i<=numberof(LEVS)).
         You can use the adjust= keyword to move the bar closer to (adjust<0)

         or further from (adjust>0) the viewport, and the height= keyword to

         set the height of any labels (default 14 points).
