dont_inform Deactivates the inform command. (default)
postscript [filename] [int] All output to the given file will be done
using postscript commands. This is the default mode. The optional integer
value specifies the number of points to use in the calculation of the
spectrum (default is 1000).
hpgl [filename] [int] Output to the given file will use HPGL commands.
The formatting is designed for A4 paper on a HP LaserJet.
xy [filename] [int] Outputs the spectrum as a list of (x,y)
coordinates. The default number of points to output is 400.
portrait This sets the output mode to use normal A4 portrait mode for
those devices that actually produce printer output.
landscape This sets the output mode for the printer devices as A4
landscape. This is the default.
rows_per_page columns_per_page vertical_order This sets the order in which spectra are added to a
page. The first is in the lower left corner. This means that the following
spectra should be added vertically above the last one, moving to the right
each time a column is filled. The default.
horizontal_order The opposite of vertical order. Plots are added to
the right until a row is filled.
energy_range [min] [max] This command specifies the range of energies
that you wish to plot by giving the minimum and maximum values. If this command
is not given then the program will attempt to choose a minimum that is slighty
smaller than the lowest energy line in the spectrum, and a maximum that is just
above the highest energy line.
lorentzian [real] [real] [range (min) (max)] This command sets the
line shape used to represent lifetime broadenings. The first number gives
the width. Since it really uses a fano line shape the second number is also
required. If this number is very large then the shape is effectively a true
lorentzian. If the optional command range is given, the minimum and
maximum values are used as the energy range to which this particular line
shape applies. If no range is given then it applies to all energies.
You should make sure that there is a lorentzian given for all lines that
will appear in your spectrum or problems may occur.
reset_lorentz This is the proper way to remove the previous
lorentzian values, prior to specifying new ones.
gaussian old_racah [filename] [add] This command tells the program to read spectral
line information from the specified file. The information is in the format
produced by the crystal field program using the 1984 version of
Racah. Unless the command add is also given this will erase the
lines read from the previous file. It does not erase any lines currently
selected for plotting.
rcg9 [filename] [add] This command reads spectral line information
produced by rcg9. The rest of the information is the same as for the
command old_racah.
band [filename] [add] This command reads spectral line information
produced by bander. Again the command description is the same as for
old_racah.
title [string] This command skips the blanks following the command
and uses all the rest of the characters on the line as the title string. This
string is used for the main title on the page. The string may contain
LaTeX like formatting for sub/super scripts except that they do not need
to be embedded in mathmode.
frame_title [string] This behaves in the same way as title.
It specifies a string to use as a title on the current frame. If there is
only one frame on the page then this command does nothing
