HPLOT USER INSTRUCTIONS
The program HPLOT (HP Plot) will plot two and three dimensional data
on a HPGL compatible plotter connected to a serial port (COM1 or COM2).
If the user types "HPLOT filename COMn" at the DOS prompt the
program HPLOT will read plot commands from the text file "filename"
and output HPGL plotter instructions to a plotter connected to serial
port "COMn". If the parameter "COMn" is omitted it defaults to
"COM1". The port "COMn" must have been configured with the DOS
command "MODE COMn:baudrate,parity,databits,stopbits,P". The plot
commands are a subset of the plot commands recognized by the SPLOT
(Screen Plot) program; HPLOT does not have an interactive mode and
does not recognize the commands intended for interactive use. Type
just "HPLOT" at the DOS prompt to display a summary of the plot
commands recognized by HPLOT. You can use the SPLOT program to display
a plot on the screen then use the SAVE command to create a plot
command file that the HPLOT program can use to produce a hardcopy plot.
The command "HPLOT filename hpfile" will send the HPGL plotter
instructions to file "hpfile"; this file could then be transfered to
another computer to be output to a HPGL compatible plotter.
The HPLOT program has been tested on a HP 7550 plotter and on a HP
ColorPro plotter.

than for evaluation purposes, without payment for the SPLOT software
