Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
plot_name | An Existing Plot | A plot name is a string of characters that identifies a plot |
new_plot_name | A New Plot | This required parameter specifies the name to be assigned to the replica XY plot created from a XY_PLOT TEMPLATE COPY operation |
create_page | Boolean | Creates a page for the new plot |
display_page | Boolean | If you created a new page, displays the new page. |
page_name | String | Specifies the name for the new page |
view_name | An Existing View | This parameter allows you to specify the view into which the new XY plot will be displayed |
Extended Definition:
1. This command will create a replica of an existing plot. This replica be identical to the original plot with the exception of the plot name.
Plots must have unique names, so a new name must be specified when performing a plot copy. A plot copy operation implies the copying of all curves, axes, titles, labels, and scaling attributes of the original plot. The replica will be completely independent of the original, and may be modified without affecting the original.
2. Plot names are assigned when plots are created. After a plot has been created, it may be referenced by its name until it is deleted. A plot may NOT have the same name as another plot.
A plot_name may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used. The leading character must be a letter.
3. The XY plot created will be identical to the plot named in the OLD_PLOT_NAME parameter with the exception of the plot name. Since no two plots may have the same name, it will be necessary to specify a unique name.
A Plot_name may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used. The leading character must be a letter.
4. The default is yes.
5. If view_name parameter is not specified the new XY plot will be displayed in the active view.
