Table
</H2>
When <B>table</B> mode is enabled, <B>plot</B> and <B>splot</B> commands print out a
multicolumn ASCII table of X Y {Z} R values rather than creating an actual
plot on the current terminal. The character R takes on one of three values:
<TT>"</TT>i<TT>"</TT> if the point is in the active range, <TT>"</TT>o<TT>"</TT> if it is out-of-range, or <TT>"</TT>u<TT>"</TT>
if it is undefined. The data format is determined by the format of the axis
labels (see <B>set format (p. <A HREF="node206.html#set_format"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>)<A NAME="6462"></A></B>), and the columns are separated by single spaces.
This can be useful if you want to generate contours and then save them for
further use, perhaps for plotting with <B>plot</B>; see <B>set contour (p. <A HREF="node191.html#set_contour"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>)<A NAME="6465"></A></B> for example.
The same method can be used to save interpolated data
(see <B>set samples (p. <A HREF="node259.html#set_samples"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>)<A NAME="6467"></A></B> and <B>set dgrid3d (p. <A HREF="node201.html#set_dgrid3d"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>)<A NAME="6469"></A></B>).
<P>
Syntax:
<BR>
<PRE>
set table {"outfile"}
plot <whatever>
unset table
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
Tabular output is written to the named file, if any, otherwise it is written
to the current value of <B>set output</B>. You must explicitly <B>unset table</B>
in order to go back to normal plotting on the current terminal.
