Plot Results

By default XRONOS applications plot automatically every XRONOS QDP file containing the results of the analysis in each frame. To get access to a number of plot options reply y to the following question:

lc1> Plot options?              {n/y}[n]=>
If results should not be plotted, reply n to the following question:

lc1> Plot results?              {n/y}[y]=>
By replying i to the following question:

lc1> Interactive or automatic?  {i/a}[a]=>
QDP/PLT is left in the interactive plotting mode at the end of each plot and commands can be entered from the PLT> prompt to allow plot customisation. If necessary, the plot device (and its default) can be changed by replying to the following question (enter ? to list available plot devices):

lc1> Pgplot device  [/ws               ]=>
A file containing a set of QDP/PLT commands to be applied to each plot can be specified by replying y to the following question:

lc1> Specify QDP command file?  {y/n}[n]=>
and by specifying the QDP/PLT command file in response to the following question:

lc1> QDP cmd filename [xronos.pco] =>

When running applications lc2 and ef2 the following additional questions are asked:

lc2> Hardness vs. intensity ? {n/y} [n]=>
If the answer is y then the hardness ratio will be plotted against intensity. By replying to the next question is then possible to specify whether the intensity on the X-axis should be that of the first series, the second series or the sum of them (the default):

lc2> Series 1, 2 or sum on X-axis ?
                       {0, 1, 2}[sum=0]=>
Moreover it is possible to prevent the plotting of the hardness ratio vs. time, by replying y to the following question:

lc2> Plot only light curves ?  {n/y}[n]=>
or to plot the hardness ratio and the sum of the light curves from series 1 and 2 vs. time by replying y to the following question:

lc2> Plot hdns and summed l.c.?{n/y}[n]=>

When running applications lc3 and ef3 the following additional questions are asked:

lc3> Colour-Colour Diagram ?   {n/y}[n]=>
If the answer is y than the soft ratio (series 2/ series 1) and hard hardness ratio (series 3/series 2) will be plotted against each other. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the plotting of the hardness ratios vs. time, by replying y to the following question:

lc3> Plot only light curves  ? {n/y}[n]=>
