PPLUS

PPLUS

 

/RESET

Invokes PPLUS  to execute a command or commands. "PLOT PLUS" was originally written by Don Denbo, but PPLUS within Ferret includes numerous changes from the original.

PyFerret runs PPLUS commands just as Ferret does, with the exception of text handling. If SET TEXT has been is issued in PyFerret with a font other than HERSHEY, text from Python library fonts is used.

yes? PPLUS !(also PPL); invokes PPLUS interactively
or
 
yes? PPL pplus_command !executes a single PPLUS command
or
 
yes? PPL/RESET !restores PPLUS to start-up defaults

Example:

yes? PPL CROSS 1 !reference line through zero

Executes the PPLUS command "CROSS" and immediately returns control to Ferret.

When PPLUS is invoked interactively the prompt is "PPL>" instead of the usual "yes?". The EXIT command given at the "PPL>" prompt returns control to Ferret.

See the chapter "Customizing Plots" for more information on Ferret/PPLUS interactions. A complete list of PPLUS commands is in PLOT PLUS for Ferret User's Guide, included in this manual as Appendix B.

Command Qualifiers for PPLUS:

PPLUS/RESET

Restores PPLUS to start-up settings.
