• infile:
  The name of the resultfile from gd1. "infile= @last" is special: the name of the last computed run is taken (this value is read from the file $HOME/name.of.last.gdfidl.file)
• scratchbase:
  The base name of scratchfiles that gd1.pp needs for its operation. These will be mainly plotfiles. If you have an environment variable TMPDIR set, gd1.pp will take as default value set scratchbase to the string

      $TMPDIR/gdfidl-scratch-pid=XXXXX-
  

  Here $TMPDIR is the value of the environment variable TMPDIR, and XXXXX is the number of the process-id of gd1.pp.
• text(*)= This annotation text is plotted together with the field plots.
  syntax:
  text()= ANY STRING, NOT NECESSARILY QUOTED
  or
  text(NUMBER)= ANY STRING, NOT NECESSARILY QUOTED
  
  
  
  • ANY STRING, NOT NECESSARILY QUOTED:
    The string to be included in the plots,
  • NUMBER:
    Optionally, the line number, where the text should be plotted.
  In the first case, without NUMBER, the string following text()= is placed in the next free line. In the case with NUMBER, it is guaranteed, that the string is placed in the NUMBER.st line. You can specify up to 20 annotation strings, the maximum length of each annotation string is is 80 characters.

  When a new database is specified, the values of text are overwritten by the values that are found in the database.

• plotopts= ANY STRING CONTAING OPTIONS FOR THE PLOT-PROGRAMS:
  gd1.pp does not display the data itself, but writes a datafile for mymtv2 (1D and 2D data) or gd1.3dplot (3D data) and starts mymtv2 or gd1.3dplot to display these data.
  Useful options are:
  • -geometry X11-GEOMETRY Initial geometry for the X11 window of mymtv2 or gd1.3dplot.

• showtext= [yes|no]:
  This flags, whether the annotation text shall appear in the plots.

• onlyplotfiles= [yes|no]:
  This flags, whether plotfiles shall be written AND mymtv2 or gd1.3dplot shall be started to display them on an X11 display, or whether only the plotfiles shall be produced.

Example The following specifies that we want to work with the data that were generated by the last run of gd1. We want to have the scratchfiles written into the directory '/tmp/garbage/' and there the files shall be called 'delete-me-*'. We want to have mymtv2 or gd1.3dplot started with an X11-geometry of 1024x768.
