Is there's a cool way to pass "sh" output to grap's ticks command?
I'd like to generate my x-axis "ticks" programatically, from the data I'm bringing in with "copy". I have a line like this: ticks bottom out at 6.40000000e+01 "\s-1%.0f", 9.05096680e+01 "%.0f", \ 1.28000000e+02 "%.0f", 1.81019336e+02 "%.0f", 2.56000000e+02 "%.0f", \ 3.62038672e+02 "%.0f", 5.12000000e+02 "%.0f", 7.24077344e+02 "%.0f", \ 1.02400000e+03 "%.0f", 1.44815469e+03 "%.0f", 2.04800000e+03 "%.0f", \ 2.89630938e+03 "%.0f", 4.09600000e+03 "%.0f", 5.79261875e+03 "%.0f", \ 8.19200000e+03 "%.0f\s+1" which came from the first column of the data file. I tried many variations of ticks sh { awk ... } without any luck. (Even less luck because there doesn't seem to be a way to escape the "$1" I would like to pass to awk.) While I'm in the neighborhood, the grap manual says that labels stack, but mine (version 1.41) doesn't seem to: $ cat t .G1 label top "abc", "def" .G2 $ grap t grap: syntax error Error near line 2, file "t" context is: label top "abc" >>> , <<< "def" Many thanks for any assistance. --jkl
