    print to a specific path/filename [c] file path 256 chars maximum  

[a] default filenames can be overridden with the file path option

[b] If the ouput device is a pen plotter then a frames line may be needed.

[c] Overrides the default extension. Should be used as the final option on the PLOTX command line as the filename may contain embedded white space as well as directory/file-system indicators.

params 1 x output plot dimension \(^{1} \)   defined at implementation  
  2 y output plot dimension \(^{1} \)   defined at implementation  
  3 plot scale (input to output)   automatic scaling  
  4 x plot centre (input units)   automatic centring  
  5 y plot centre (input units)   automatic centring  
  6 plot border lines   no  
    yes plot a border bord    
  7 plot resolution [a]   defined at implementation  

[a] The units of these parameters will depend on device and the method of installation. For example, if the plot dimensions are in inches, the plot resolution will be the smallest distance that can be resolved for this device in inches.

color [a] colour/line style option followed by colour/line style indices        
  atom type colours; do not fill atoms or bonds nofill n1...n10    
  atom type colours; fill atoms or bonds fill n1...n10    
  atom type shades; fill atoms or bonds with black and shading instead of colour: 1, hollow; 2, solid; 3,pattern; 4, horizontal hatch; 5, vertical hatch; 6, horizontal and verticalhatch; 7, lower-left to upper-right hatch; 8, upper-left to lower-right hatch;9, lower-left to upper-right and upper-left to lower-right hatch shade n1...n10    
  atom outline line styles;draw atom lines in black and white lines with the following styles: 1, solid;2, dashed; 3, dotted; 4, dashed-dotted; 5, double atlin n1...n10    
  bond colour bond m    
  character colour char m    
  number colour numb m    
  contour colours contur n1...n5    
  one-colour plot nocol      

[a] the default colour indices are as follows:

nofill/fill/shade 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 3 4 5

atlin 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

bond 1 char 2 numb 3

contur 2 3 4 5 6

frames [a] 1- frame sequence numbers to be displayed  

[a] Frame numbers start at 1 and must be entered in increasing order. For example, the first contour map output by CONTRS will be frame 1 and so on. If the frames line is not entered all frames will be displayed. If a frames line is entered only the specified frames will be displayed.
