Viewing the plot on the screen is one thing, but we certainly need to print plot at some stage or save is for e.g. import in a text processing program. KUPLOT supports two different output formats that can be saved or used for printing. The defaults are POSTSCRIPT and GIF associated with the parameters 'ps' and 'pic' respectively. However, they can be set to any device supported by PGPLOT by altering the variables dev_name in the file 'blk_appl.f' of the KUPLOT distribution. The variable dev_prn in the same file sets the default print command. To print the current plot to the default printer, use 'prin ps'. To reach other printers, the corresponding print command can be specified as a second parameter to the 'prin' command as in the example below:
prin ps,"lp -d myprinter -h "
Here the printer 'myprinter' is used. Check local documentation or ask your system administrator how to access the desired printer.
In order to save the graphics file rather than printing it, use the 'save' command with the first parameter being 'ps' or 'pic' for POSTSCRIPT or GIF output respectively. The second parameter is the name of the output file, e.g. 'save ps,plot.ps'.
