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
