PLOT

The graphical plotting utility, PLOT, allows you to interpret pseudo-code plot files generated by AVEVA programs and to translate them into a range of standard formats. After translation, the plot file data may be sent either directly to a hardware device, such as a pen plotter or laser printer, or to another file, or to a graphics screen.

PLOT handles both the file format translation process and the transmission of the resulting data to a specified hardware device, including interaction with the output device where necessary to ensure that data transmission protocol is correctly observed.

PLOT can recognize source files in any of the formats described in the following section and translate them into any of a wide range of output formats by using the appropriate device drivers built into the program.
