Those PlotMTV versions which are supplied with Tela are t-line.
The first such version was 1.4.1t and the current one is 1.4.2t.
These versions are based on PlotMTV1.4.0 but contain extra
functionality for Tela. These versions are compatible with 1.4.0.
The t-versions have been made by Pekka.Janhunen@fmi.fi, the author
of Tela. PlotMTV1.4.0 was prepared by Kenny Toh, the originator
of PlotMTV.
Tela1.23 requires PlotMTV1.4.2t in order to use all its functionality.
You can use Tela with plain 1.4.0 PlotMTV, but the figure and colormap
commands do not work then, so Tela users should upgrade to 1.4.2t.
Four options were added. If you don't use these options, the behavior
is the same as for version 1.4.0:
-filelist (set filelist mode)
-earlydelete (enable earlydelete flag in filelist mode)
-title <title> (set window title)
-gifsave (create X plot, then save in "dataplot.gif")
When in filelist_mode, PlotMTV reads file names from standard input.
First it reads the first line of standard input and plots the file in the window.
It then waits for a special type of X events which signal it to go on reading
a new line of stdin and replace the current plot with fresh data found in the
new file. The event must be a keypress event generated by XSendEvent, and the
x,y, etc. fields should contain the ASCII codes of ^T, ^E, ^L, ^A.
GIF SUPPORT
-----------
There is now button for saving as GIF. Code borrowed from John Bradley's XV.
Also works for 24-bit visuals. If whole window is not visible, may generate
BadMatch errors. You can also invoke this by pressing SHIFT-G. In multi-plot
mode pressing SHIFT-G grabs only the active plot, whereas pressing the button
saves the whole window, including buttons and frames. In single-plot mode
both SHIFT-G and the button function identically, and they save the data area
without buttons. The GIF file will be named "dataplot.gif".
NEW OPTIONS IN MTV FILES
------------------------
%transpose=true
will transpose the next matrix read in.
This is currently not used by Tela, though.
%palette="r1 g1 b1 r2 g2 b2 ..."
specifies the palette. There must be at least 3*32=96 ints in the range
0..255 in the string. The palette is used for the next dataset only.
This is used by the colormap command of Tela-1.23.
