NEW-PLOT

Write the current spectrum to a plot file, and plots it on the screen if graphics output to the terminal is selected by SET-PLOT-DEVICE. Implicitly closes any already open plot file, and if appropriate spools it to the hardcopy device. The plot area is determined by SET-PLOT-SIZE, while the X & Y axis scaling can be changed with SET-PLOT-SCALES.

If the interactive flag is set (by SET-INTERACTIVE), and the plot device is the terminal, then you are left in the interactive graphics menu, which allows you to perform many functions interactively, including rescaling the plot and measuring values.

Relevant flags:
HISTOGRAM L4 Plot as histogram if TRUE, join-the-dots otherwise.
INTERACTIVE L4 Enter 1-D interactive graphics mode after plotting.
LINE_WEIGHT I4 Default line weight for plotting axes, labels etc.
X_UNITS C6 Units for the X-axis (e.g.``GHz''.)
X_NAME C10 Name for X-axis (e.g.``Frequency'')
Y_UNITS C16 Units for the Y-axis (e.g.``Kelvin''.)
Y_NAME C16 Name for Y-axis (e.g.``T\dA\u*'' to give ${\rm T}_A^*$)

Examples:

    >> new-plot<CR>
    Line weight for plots? [1] 2 <CR>
