Defines the current curve.
chips> [D #] C {# [,#, ...] | #:# | ALL}
where # is an integer argument, #:# specifies an inclusive range of
curve numbers, and D # may specify the number of the drawing area.
See the D command for more information about
this argument.
Note that wherever the "C #" is used, the above extended
syntax may be utilized to alter multiple curves at once. If a
non-existent curve is specified, ChIPS will act on the
current curve.
chips> CURVE data/exampleA.dat
chips> CURVE data/exampleB.dat
chips> SIMPLELINE
chips> LABEL 6.0 50.0 "Curve 1"
chips> LABEL 6.0 5.0 "Curve 2"
The two curves are numbered in the order in which they were
plotted. The most recently plotted curve (curve 2) is the
current curve. Therefore, SIMPLELINE acts on curve 2,
then each curve is labeled.
chips> D 1 C 1
chips> SIMPLELINE
Building on the prvious example, the command "D 1 C 1"
selects curve 1 as the current curve. The subsequent SIMPLELINE command acts on curve number
1, changing the style to a line.
chips> C 2
chips> WIDTH 4.0
The command C 2 defines curve number 2 as the current curve, then
the line is changed to have a width of 4.0.
Both curves are chosen such that the BLUE command acts on both curves. In this
example, the following commands would be equivalent to the "C
1,2" command:
chips> C 1:2
chips> C ALL
