Re: How do I get thicker pen size than @C15?
Lev,
Here's another way to make the lines thicker....
Prior to doing the Fprint statement, in unix, run the
following little sed program change_widths (see below)
written by Jerry Davison,i.e.
UNIX> change_widths metafile.plt
UNIX> Fprint -l ps -o fig.ps -R metafile_thick.plt
UNIX> more change_widths
#!/bin/csh
# Change widths of bw lines 7 & 13 in a metafile
# Input argument is file name, will have "thick" added to resulting file name.
# J Davison 9.29.98
sed 's/ 51 29 7 1 2.00000 1/ 51 29 7 1 4.00000
1/' $1 | sed 's/ 51 29 13 1 3.00000 1/ 51 29 13 1
6.00000 1/' | sed 's/ 51 29 9 1 2.00000 3/ 51 29
9 1 4.00000 3/' > $1:r_thick.plt
Enjoy,
Meghan
