set

set prompt, {"on" | "off" | "redirect" }

Sets the status of the KUPLOT prompt. The default is "on", i.e. KUPLOT prompts for the next command by writing "kuplot > ". You can turn this prompt off. This is useful, if you are running a long macro and do not want to get all the prompts written into the output. By using this option you can considerably shorten the output written by KUPLOT into a redirected log file. If you are using KUPLOT on a UNIX platform, you can start the program with redirected input by the command:

"kuplot < inputfile"

By default, KUPLOT will write the prompt "kuplot >" into the outputfile, expecting a RETURN from the keyboard. Very long lines in the output file will result. To avoid this situation insert the line "set output,redirect" as first line in the inputfile to force KUPLOT to echo the lines from file inputfile. set error , {"cont" | "exit" }

Sets the error status.

"cont"  KUPLOT returns the normal prompt after the display of the error
        message. You can continue the input of commands.
"exit"  KUPLOT terminates after the display of the error message.
        This option is useful if you run KUPLOT in the batch mode of your
        operating system. Instead of continuing with a faulty calculation
        KUPLOT stops and you can immediately check the error.
