Full Discussion: What 's setenv?
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting What 's setenv? Post 16675 by killerserv on Tuesday 5th of March 2002 08:24:58 PM

The setenv command alters the environment (standard settings) of the program. The environment contains parameters for the commands that the user does not want to specify every time a command is used. If a parameter is written in the environment the system will not ask for this parameter. If the parameter name and parameter value are written after the command this will overrule the environment.

Example:
setenv parmname xoff parmvalue 0

This setenv command assigns the parameter xoff the parameter value '0' and writes it to the environment. This prevents the system from asking for this parameter when using commands that have the xoff parameter. Hope this is what you are looking for.

PLSPAGE(3plplot)						    PLplot API							  PLSPAGE(3plplot)

NAME

       plspage - Set page parameters

SYNOPSIS

       plspage(xp, yp, xleng, yleng, xoff, yoff)

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  the  page configuration (optional).  If an individual parameter is zero then that parameter value is not updated.	Not all parameters
       are recognized by all drivers and the interpretation is device-dependent. The X-window driver uses the  length  and  offset  parameters	to
       determine  the  window size and location.  The length and offset values are expressed in units that are specific to the current driver. For
       instance: screen drivers will usually interpret them as number of pixels, whereas printer drivers will usually use  mm.	This  routine,	if
       used, must be called before initializing PLplot.

       Redacted form: plspage(xp, yp, xleng, yleng, xoff, yoff)

       This function is used in examples 14 and 31.

ARGUMENTS

       xp (PLFLT, input)
	      Number of pixels/inch (DPI), x.

       yp (PLFLT, input)
	      Number of pixels/inch (DPI), y.

       xleng (PLINT , input)
	      Page length, x.

       yleng (PLINT, input)
	      Page length, y.

       xoff (PLINT, input)
	      Page offset, x.

       yoff (PLINT, input)
	      Page offset, y.
