Symbols Table

(e.g. to use solid circles, use: set symbol "AP")

To convert topdrawer files from VMS to Linux:

Change the CASE command from the example or notes above
Change SET SYMBOL ___ to SET SYMBOL [refer to the table above]
Remove FILL=ON|OFF from PLOT command
(Optional) If the file was edited in Windows format, convert to UNIX format by using such program as 'pico'

To print a graph in topdrawer, run td and enter:
set dev post
set file in <filename>
exit
These commands generate a postscript file named fort.72, you can print it with:
lpr -Pwest_color fort.72

If the topdrawer file does not work:
The .top files may have strange carriage returns or other characters, use
pico filename
to do minor edits, save the file and exit.

top2ps

usage: top2ps [tdfilename]

-if filename is not specified, the program uses test.top by default
-the output file is called fort.72
