MULPLT MULPLT is a powerful, flexible program for producing publication quality data plots and other graphics. The plots can be generated on any graphics device supported by the MSU Chemistry Department graphics routine VECTOR. The plot is developed in an interactive session where the user enters simple two character commands and associated arguments. Convenient default values for the plot parameters allow plot generation with a minimum of input. Immediate viewing of the results of changes is possible. MULPLT is especially useful for plotting data acquired in computerized experimenta- tion, data from computer analysis of other data, or data generated by theor- etical programs. Further information is available in MULPLT.DOC. On-line HELP is available for individual commands, see COMMAND DETAILS. HELP is available for the following subtopics: 1. DOUBLE_TAG_COMMANDS(P_PHASE) 5. SPECIAL_FEATURES 2. SINGLE_TAG_COMMANDS(P_PHASE) 6. SECONDARY_TAG_GROUPS 3. F_PHASE 7. SPECIAL_CHARACTERS_AND_TAGS 4. PF_PHASE_COMMANDS 8.
