<p>
Tell Gri how you want the axes to look, when they are drawn later.
<p>
<ul>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style 0</code></font>'
Set axes to be rectangular, with an x-y axis frame labelled at the left

<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style 1</code></font>'
Set axes to be rectangular, with an x-y frame without tics at
the top and right.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style 2</code></font>'
Set axes to be rectangular, with an x-y frame without tics or numbers on
any side.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style offset [.dist_cm.]</code></font>'
Set axes so that the actual x and y axes will be drawn with a space
separating them from the data area. The space, if not set by the
`<font color="#82140F"><code>.distance_cm.</code></font>' option, will be equal to the current tic size (see
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set tic size</code></font>'). This command can be used together with any other
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style</code></font>' command. It applies to both the `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw axes</code></font>'
command and with any `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw x|y axis</code></font>' command in which the axis
location is not explicitly given.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style rectangular</code></font>'
Set axes to be rectangular, with an x-y axes frame labelled at the left
and bottom.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style none</code></font>'
Tell gri not to bother drawing axes before drawing curves, etc.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style default</code></font>'

<p>
<ul>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set arrow size .size.</code></font>'
Set the arrow size (ie, half-width of the arrowhead) to `<font color="#82140F"><code>.size.</code></font>'
centimetres.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set arrow size as .num. percent of length</code></font>'
Set the arrow size to be the indicated percentage of arrow length, as in
"HWP" in the singles ads. (As a flag to this, `<font color="#82140F"><code>..arrowsize..</code></font>' is
set to the negative of the fractional size measured in percent.)
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set arrow size default</code></font>'

</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
Set type of arrow, according to the value of `<font color="#82140F"><code>.which.</code></font>', rounded to
the nearest integer. A rounded `<font color="#82140F"><code>.which.</code></font>' value of 0 yields the
default arrows, drawn with three line strokes. Value 1 yields outlined
arrows, sometimes used on definition sketches. Value 2 yields filled,
swept-back arrow heads.
<p>
This command uses the ``line join'' parameters that are presently active
(see <a href="Set.html#SetLineJoin">Set Line Join</a>). So, by default, the arrow ends are rounded
(because the default line-join parameter is 1). To get pointy ends,
first set the line join parameter to 0.

<h4>9.3.40.5: `<font color="#82140F"><code>set bounding box</code></font>'</h4>
<!-- latex: \index{set bounding box} -->
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">

<font color="#82140F">
`set bounding box .ll_x. .ll_y. .ur_x. .ur_y. [pt|cm]'
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
Set the PostScript bounding box for the graph to the indicated values. The
bounding box is used by some programs to determine the region of the
page on which marks have been made. For example, LaTeX uses the
bounding box to decide how to position figures in documents.
<p>
Normally, the bounding box is computed automatically unless the
`<font color="#82140F"><code>-no_bounding_box</code></font>' commandline option has been specified;
(see <a href="InvokingGri.html#InvokingGri">Invoking Gri</a>). But if `<font color="82140F"><code>set bounding box</code></font>' is
done, the automatically computed value is ignored and the given box is
used instead. Use this if Gri makes mistakes in its automatic selection
of bounding box.
<p>
The coordinates of the bounding box may be specified in (1) user
coordinates, as defined <b>at the moment</b> the command is executed, or
(2) in points on the page, measured from an origin at the lower-left
(72 point per inch), or (3) in centimeters on the page. Which coordinate
system is used depends on the last keyword -- use `<font color="#82140F"><code>pt</code></font>' for points,
`<font color="#82140F"><code>cm</code></font>' for centimeters, and nothing at all for user-units.
<p>
The most common use is in points, since that is how many other
application packages, e.g. LaTeX and dvips, specify the bounding box.
<p>
If the box is specified in the user units, the user units in effect
<b>at the moment</b> of executing the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set bounding box</code></font>' command
are used. This must be born in mind if the coordinate system is
changing during the execution of the program, e.g. if margins are
changing or the x and y axes are changing. For this reason it often
makes sense to put this command at the end of the commandfile.

<p>
Control clipping of following drawing commands.
<ul>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set clip on</code></font>'
Don't plot data outside axes.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set clip on .xleft. .xright. .ybottom. .ytop.</code></font>'
Don't plot data outside indicated box.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set clip off</code></font>'
Plot all data, whether inside the axes or not.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set clip postscript on .xleft. .xright. .ybottom. .ytop.</code></font>'
Turn PostScript clipping on. This will prevent <b>any</b> drawing
outside the named box. Note that it will also prevent axis drawing, so
the recommended procedure is something like

<p>
Set the color of the ``pen'' used for drawing lines and text. Normally
lines and text are drawn in the same color, but the text color can be
specified independently if desired (see <a href="Set.html#SetFontColor">Set Font Color</a>). This might be
useful to get contour lines of one color and labels of another. The
spelling `<font color="#82140F"><code>colour</code></font>' is also accepted.
<p>
In the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set color \name</code></font>' style, set the drawing color to the
indicated name, either from the builtin list (`<font color="#82140F"><code>white</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>LightGray</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>darkslategray</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>black</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>red</code></font>',

`<font color="#82140F"><code>magenta</code></font>'), or from a list created by `<font color="#82140F"><code>read colornames</code></font>'. In
the latter case, if the colorname has more than one word in it, use
quotes, e.g. `<font color="#82140F"><code>set color "ghost white"</code></font>'.
In the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set color rgb ...</code></font>' style, set the individual color

Normally, Gri draws the numeric labels of contours using a format code
called `<font color="#82140F"><code>%g</code></font>' in the "C" language. You may specify any other "long"
format using this command. For example, `<font color="#82140F"><code>set contour format %.1f</code></font>'
tells Gri to use one decimal place in the numbers, and also to prefer
the "float" notation to the exponential notation. `<font color="#82140F"><code>set contour format default</code></font>' resets to the default `<font color="#82140F"><code>%f</code></font>' format. You may use
quotes around the format if you need to, to make the item be a single
word (e.g. `<font color="#82140F"><code>set contour format "%.1f m/s"</code></font>').

<p>
By default, contour labels are drawn at the location 1 cm into the
contour curve, measured from the startpoint of the contour (e.g., for
contours crossing the axes frames, the label will be 1 cm from the
frame), and then at a uniform distance along the contour. By default,
this uniform distance is the average dimension of the plotting area
inside the axes. If `<font color="#82140F"><code>.start_cm.</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.between_cm.</code></font>' are
specified, the first label is drawn at a distance `<font color="#82140F"><code>.start_cm.</code></font>' from
the start of the contour, and thereafter at a separation of
`<font color="#82140F"><code>.between_cm.</code></font>'.
<p>
If the `<font color="#82140F"><code>centered</code></font>' option is used, then the contour labels are

The first two options control whether contour labels are rotated to line
up with the contour lines, or whether they are horizontal (the default).

The second two options control whether the region under contour labels
is whited out before drawing the label. The default is
`<font color="#82140F"><code>whiteunder</code></font>', which has the visual effect of the label having been
drawn on a piece of paper and then pasted on. This can look jarring
when the material under the contour is an image. When
`<font color="#82140F"><code>nowhiteunder</code></font>' is specified, the contour line is broken to make
space for the text, but no whiting out is done.

white at the value `<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>', and remains pure white everywhere on the
"white" side of this value. Similarly, the transition to pure black
occurs at the value `<font color="#82140F"><code>.bl.</code></font>'. In other words, neither pure white nor
pure black is present inside the interval from `<font color="#82140F"><code>.wh.</code></font>' to
`<font color="#82140F"><code>.bl.</code></font>'. Therefore, when using the `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image palette</code></font>'

get an example of both pure white and pure black.

<p>
Specify maximum possible range of values that images can hold, in user
units. Gri needs to know this because it stores images in a limited
format capable of holding only 256 distinct values. Unlike some other
programs, Gri encourages (forces) the user to specify things in terms of
user-units, not image-units. This has the advantage of working
regardless of the number of bits per pixel. Thus, for example,
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set image grayscale</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image colorscale</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image grayscale</code></font>', etc, all use <b>user</b> units.
<p>
When an image is created by `<font color="#82140F"><code>convert grid to image</code></font>', values outside
the range spanned by `<font color="#82140F"><code>.0value.</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.255value.</code></font>' are clipped.
(There is no need, however, for `<font color="#82140F"><code>.0value.</code></font>' to be less than
`<font color="#82140F"><code>.255value.</code></font>'.) This clipping discards information, so make sure
the range you give is larger than the range of data in the grid.
<p>
EXAMPLE: consider a satellite image in which an internal value of 0 is
meant to correspond to 0 degrees Celsius, and an internal value of 255
corresponds to 25.5 degrees. (This is a common scale.) Then the Gri
command `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image range 0 25.5</code></font>' would establish the required
range. If this range were combined with a linear grayscale mapping (see
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set image grayscale</code></font>'), the resultant granularity in the internal
representation of the user values would be (25.5-0)/255 or 0.1 degrees
Celsius; temperature variations from pixel to pixel which were less than
0.1 degrees would be lost.
<p>
All other image commands <b>require</b> that the range has been set.
Thus, all these commands fail unless `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image range</code></font>' has been
done: `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>draw image palette</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>read image</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>convert grid to image</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image grayscale</code></font>', and
`<font color="#82140F"><code>set image colorscale</code></font>'.
<p>
NOTE: If a range already exists when `<font color="#82140F"><code>set image range</code></font>' is used,
then the settings are altered. Thoughtless usage can therefore lead to
confusing results. (The situation is like setting an axis scale,
plotting a curve with no axes, then altering the scale and plotting the
new axes. It is legal but not necessarily smart.)

If your figure is to be reproduced by a journal, you should check with
them about the range of line thicknesses they recommend. This will, of
course, depend on whether your figure is reduced or enlarged during
reproduction. For example, American Geophysical Union (publishers of
J. Geophysical Res.) recommends that one use line thicknesses no less
than 0.5 points and no more than 4 points.
<p>
The rapidograph settings match the standard set of widths used in
technical fountain pens. The table below gives width names along with
the width in points and centimetres, as given in the specifications
supplied with Rapidograph technical fountain pens. Names marked by the
symbol `<font color="#82140F"><code>*</code></font>' are in sequence increasing by the factor root(2). Texts
on technical drawing often suggest using linewidths in the ratio of 2 or
root(2). On many printers, the variation in width from root(2) increase
is too subtle to see, so the factor-of-2 rule may be preferable. To get
sizes in a sequence doubling in width, pick from the list (`<font color="#82140F"><code>6x0</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>3x0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>1</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>3.5</code></font>' `<font color="#82140F"><code>7</code></font>'). To get a sequence
increasing in width by root(2), pick from the list (`<font color="#82140F"><code>6x0</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>4x0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>3x0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>0</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>1</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>2.5</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>3.5</code></font>',
`<font color="#82140F"><code>6</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>7</code></font>'). The eye can distinguish curves with linewidths
differing by a factor of root(2) if the image is of high quality, but a
factor of 2 is usually better. Similarly, for overhead projections and
projected slides, one would do well to use linewidths differing by a
factor of 4.

Control y margin, that is, the space between the bottom side of the page
and the bottom of the plotting area. (Note that axis labels are drawn
inside the margin; the margin extends to the axis line, not to the
labels.)
<p>
<ul>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin .size.</code></font>'
Set bottom margin to `<font color="#82140F"><code>.size.</code></font>' centimeters. It is permissible to
have negative margins, with the expected effect.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin bigger .size.</code></font>'
Increases bottom margin by `<font color="#82140F"><code>.size.</code></font>' centimeters.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin smaller .size.</code></font>'
Decreases bottom margin by `<font color="#82140F"><code>.size.</code></font>' centimeters.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y margin default</code></font>'
Set bottom margin to default = 6 cm.

<p>
Control transformation function mapping user units to centimetres on the

<p>
<ul>
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y type linear</code></font>'
Set to linear axis.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y type log</code></font>'
Set to log axis. To avoid clashes in the linear to log transform, this
command should precede the creation of an axis scale, either explicitly
through the `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y axis .left. .right. ...</code></font>' command or implicitly
through the `<font color="#82140F"><code>read columns</code></font>' command.
<li> `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y type map N|S|E|W</code></font>'
Set to be a map. This means that whole numbers on the axis will have a
degree sign written after them (and then the letter `<font color="#82140F"><code>N</code></font>', etc), and
that numbers which are multiples of 1/60 will be written in
degree-minute format, and that similarly numbers which are divisible by
1/3600 will be in degree-minute-second format. If none of these things
apply, the axis labels will be written in decimal degrees. Note that
this command overrides any format set by `<font color="#82140F"><code>set y format</code></font>'.
<p>
BUG: this only has an effect if the axis is not already of type
`<font color="#82140F"><code>log</code></font>'.
