XWinPlot is the print GUI within XwinNMR, the software package to
analyze data taken in the Chemistry NMR Lab. The XWinNMR software
runs on pepe, the SGI O2 in the Computer Lab 2105 NW.
There are two ways to print from XWinPlot on pepe:
- Print directly:
- In XWinPlot, under the "Options" menu at the top select
"Printer setup"
- Select "HP LaserJet 4L" for "Printer Type" and "Letter"
for "Paper Size"
- Near the bottom, replace the "Print Command" line (it says
something like "lp -c -s -oraw -#1 %s" with lpr %s
- Select "Apply" and then "OK"
- Under the "File" menu, select "Print"
The file will be sent to the default printer.
- Print to a file:
- In XWinPlot, under the "Options" menu at the top select
"Printer setup"
- Select "Postscript" for "Printer Type" and "Letter"
for "Paper Size"
- Select "Apply" and then "OK"
- Under the "File" menu, select "Print"
- Select "To File..." in the Print dialog box
- Enter "your_filename" in the end of the "Selection" input window
and click OK. The PostScript file named "your_filename"
is now written to your home directory.
- From a shell, (the command window like where you started
XWinNMR, type "lp your_filename". The file is sent to the
default printer.
The advantage of the second method is that the postscript file is saved in
your home directory. If you enabled color output and defined colors in your
plot, you could send the file to any PostScript printer.
For example, to print your file on the Tektronix Phaser 360 in 2105 NW, login
to the chemistry Unix server and type the command
lp -d 2105nw_phaser your_filename
