PAW version 1.04/03

 
 
  1-    New options are available in HPLOT
        ==================================
 
 
         SET XCOL define the colour of the X ticks mark and labels
         SET YCOL define the colour of the Y ticks mark and labels
         SET FCOL Color_of_Superimposed_Function
         SET FTYP Hatch_Style_of_Superimposed_Function
         SET PWID Line_width_of_Picture_box
         SET BWID Line_width_of_Zone_box
         SET HWID Line_width_of_Histogram_contour
         SET FWID Line_width_of_Superimposed_Function
         SET GRID Line_Style_of_grid
             Note that to get the grid you must select OPT GRID
 
 
         The options NDVX and NDVY in command SET have been extended
         to support alphanumeric labels.
 
                      NDVX (or NDVY) = XXX.NC 
    
           XXX gives the number of divisions as usual
                                    
           N is a list number as defined by the command LABEL.
             N refers to the parameter LABNUM of the command LABEL (see below)
             if N = 0 the labels are numeric.
           C indicates how labels are drawn. Labels can be centred
             to a tick mark or to a division.    
 
         The macros NDVX.KUMAC  and NDVXSIN.KUMAC in the PAW area shows 
         the various options available with NDVX.
 
 
  2-    The command LABEL has been modified
        ===================================
 
         * /GRAPHICS/PRIMITIVES/LABELS  LABNUM NLABS CHLABS 
 
           LABNUM     I 'Label identifier' D=1 R=1:9  
           NLABS      I 'Number of labels' D=0 R=0:50  
           CHLABS     C 'List of labels' D=' '  
 
         See macro NDVX.KUMAC for a detailed example.
 
 
  3-    The command SPLINE has been modified
        ===================================
 
         * /HISTOGRAM/FIT/SPLINE  ID [ ISEL KNOTX KX ] 
 
            ID         C 'histogram identifier'  
            ISEL       I 'option flag' D=2  
            KNOTX      I 'Number of knots' D=10  
            KX         I 'Degree of the spline' D=3  
 
            Smooth 1-Dim or 2_Dim histogram ID using B_splines (HSPLI1/HSPLI2). 
            If ID is a 1-Dim histogram then:
 
             ISEL = 0,1 replace original histogram by smoothed. 
                  = 2   superimpose as a function when editing. 
 
            If ID is a 2-Dim histogram then original contents are replaced. 
 
 
  4-    Changes in KUIP macros
        ======================
 
       - Changes in addressing variables in assignment and IF statements 
         inside macros
 
        J:=[J]+1                | Old style (still valid, but withdrawn in the next version)
        LET I=[I]+1             |       "            "             "            "
        IF [I]=[MAX] GOTO END   |       "            "             "            "
 
        J=J+1                   | New style
        I=I+1                   |  "    "
        IF I=MAX GOTO END       |  "    "
 
           See example in macro FUNCTION.KUMAC
 
       - New KUIP system functions (type HELP KUIP/FUNCTIONS)
 
 
 
  5-    Changes in command KEY
        ======================
 
         * /GRAPHICS/HPLOT/KEY  X Y ISYMB TEXT 
 
           X          R 'X coordinate of comment'  
           Y          R 'Y coordinate of comment'  
           ISYMB      I 'Symbol number'  
           TEXT       C 'Comment'  
 
           Draw a symbol and its explanation (legend) at a point x,y using 
           the current normalisation transformation.   
 
 
  6-    POSTSCRIPT
        ==========
 
        The POSTSCRIPT workstation has been improved.
        We strongly recommend PAW users on APOLLOs to use this facility
        to produce high quality plots.
        In order to simplify the generation of the POSTSCRIPT metafile
        we suggest the following:
 
          1- In your PAWLOGON.KUMAC file insert the 2 statements
             OPT ZFL1
             ALIAS/CREATE @ 'EXEC POSTSCRIPT'
 
          2- Create the following macro
             Macro POSTSCRIPT  1=PAW.POST
             fortran/file 66 [1]
             meta -66 -111
             pic/plot ' '
             close 66
             shell prf [1] -trans -pr lw
             return
             
          3- In PAW, when you want to generate the metafile:
            PAW > @    (This command copies the picture on your screen
                        into your local file PAW.POST and prints it
                        onto the laser printer in Bldg 513)
          
             In the case where you want to generate many pictures in the same 
             session and make a metafile for each picture, Do:
            PAW > @ Myfile
 
             We are working on automatic procedures to get the same result
             on IBM and Vax.
 
 
  7-    Usual minor improvements
        ========================
       
        in command ATITLE
        in Ntuple selection mechanism
        in Log scales
        Ntuple commands should be faster
