General Commands

The general commands in MIDAS mostly concern setting the plot characteristic, displaying the setup, assigning the graphic output device, and sending an existing plot to a device. These commands are:
CREATE/GRAPHIC reate a graphic window on the workstation
DELETE/GRAPHIC delete a graphic window from the workstation
CLEAR/GRAPHIC clear the graphic screen or window
   
SET/GRAPHIC set the graphic characteristics
SHOW/GRAPHIC show the graphic characteristics
   
ASSIGN/GRAPHIC assign the graphic device
COPY/GRAPHIC route the plot file to a graphic device
   

The first two commands in this table are meant for users with workstations running the X-Window display software. With these commands one can create and delete graphics window(s). The create command allows control over the size of the graphics window as well as the position where it is to be put. CLEAR/GRAPHIC  erases the graphics window or graphics terminal screen.
