draw curve into display
command: CURVE <curve-file>
Draws curve into trace display. The curve is read from file <curve-file>. It uses the coordinate system defined by the time axis and the y-axis. The curve file contains pairs of coordinates (time,y) in each line, which are connected by straight lines in the display. An empty line stops the polygon and starts a new line at the next pair. If a line starts with "TEXT: " the rest of the line is printed at the last read location.
Curve files are searched first in the current directory then in the directory specified by the "SHD_CURVES"-path.
parameters
- <curve-file> parameter type: filename (without extension)
File which contains curve. It must have the extension ".CRV" and start with a line containing "SH_CRV" at the very beginning. Each line of the file contains either:- a coordinate pair "time y" (separated by blanks)
- nothing
- an output text (line must start with "TEXT: ") Coordinate pairs are connected until a blank line is read. A blank line starts a new polygon. An output text is printed at the last read location.
qualifiers
- /neg
If this qualifier is specified, all y-values are sign-reversed.
- /clip
Clips output to section of trace display
example
- curve mycurve
- draws curve file MYCURVE.CRV into trace display
