DEVICE

keywords

 If the DEVICE command is entered with no parameters, the current graphics
 hardcopy device is displayed. A table of devices and their corresponding
 code numbers is also displayed, and you can then enter your choice, either
 by name or by code number.

ON/OFF

 If the user is not interested in graphics hardcopy, it is recommended
 that hardcopy generation be turned OFF, since graphics on the monitor is
 noticeably faster when a hardcopy is not made.

 If DEVICE OFF is entered, output to the hardcopy bitmap or file will be
 disabled. The graphics will not be cleared, but, while the output is
 disabled, no hardcopy output will be available.  To re-enable output
 to a previously chosen device type, use the DEVICE ON command. The device
 type that was previously chosen will again be available.  The graphics will
 not be cleared.

bitmap_devices

 Syntax: DEVICE HPLASER { 100 | 150 | 300 }
         DEVICE INKJET { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 }
         DEVICE THINKJET
         DEVICE LA100
         DEVICE PRINTRONIX

Additional Information on:

PostScript

 Syntax: DEVICE POSTSCRIPT { A | B | C | D | E | A4 }
 Qualifiers: \COLOUR, \GREY, \FLIP
 Defaults: \-COLOUR, \-GREY, \-FLIP, A
 Examples: DEVICE POST
           DEVICE\COLOUR POST A4
           DEVICE\GREY POST A4

 The \COLOUR and \GREY qualifiers only apply to PostScript output.
 The \COLOUR qualifier means colour changes will be inserted into the
 PostScript output.  The default is \-COLOUR. The \GREY qualifier means
 grey scale changes will be inserted into the PostScript output.  The
 default is \-GREY.

 Syntax: DEVICE HPPLOTTER { A | B | C | D | E }
         DEVICE HOUSTON   { A | B | C | D | E }
         DEVICE ROLAND    { A | B | C | D | E }
         DEVICE LN03+
         DEVICE IMAGEN
 Defaults: A
 Examples: DEVICE HPP 
           DEVICE HOUSTON C

 The optional parameter refers to paper sizes.  Note that LN03+ and IMAGEN
 only allow for A size paper.

         DEVICE CIT467

 If a monitor type is chosen as a hardcopy device, a `display file' will
 be created. This file can be saved and typed in DCL mode. Any graphics
 that was drawn after choosing the display file will be replayed on the
 monitor screen, including any clearing of the graphics. The file that is
 created will be named after the plotter type. If a display file is being
 used, the world coordinate plotting units will be 8.5 x 11 inches.

Additional Information on:

plotting_units

 The world coordinate system plotting units depend on:
  the orientation                                (ORIENTATION command)
  the graphics hardcopy device that is active    (DEVICE      command)
  the number of pages of InkJet output requested (DEVICE      command)
  and the type of units chosen                   (SET UNITS   command)
