Gonzalo:

I received the below message from Ray:


> I have made Gonzalo some plots for equinox solar minimum conditions

> You can have Gonzalo browse these figures and I can get him

The file /ouray/d/roble/tgcmproc/gonz.eq.sta contains cgm plots
like we looked at yesterday with idt. Below is a procedure you
could use to copy this file, look at it with idt, then select
out some frames and make hardcopies. The first step is from your
fabry.geophys machine, and all remaining steps are from cedar.hao.
Comments follow each step:

1. xhost +cedar.hao.ucar.edu

2. cd /d/gonzalo 

   This is a directory on cedar I made for your use in a "scratch" 
   area.  This directory is not backed up, and files are subject to 
   the scrubber. Use it to store large metafiles, and remove files 
   when you are done.

3. cp /ouray/d/roble/tgcmproc/gonz.eq.sta .

   Copy Ray's file to your current directory (it will be named
   gonz.eq.sta)

4. setenv DISPLAY fabry.geophys.washington.edu:0

   Tell cedar to display at your home machine.

5. idt gonz.eq.sta &

   Look at plots with idt (idt in background)
   (next steps are example of how to get out specific frames)

6. med gonz.eq.sta

   Run the metacode editor on the plot file. It will tell you it read
   38 frames and give you the med> prompt:

med> 5,8a select.cgm

   This tells med to append frames 5 through 8 to a file called
   select.cgm (it will create select.cgm if it does not already exist).

med> 10a select.cgm

   Tell med to append frame 10 to select.cgm.

... make any other desired med commands ... (see man med)

med> quit

   Quit med.

7. ctrans -d ps.mono select.cgm > select.ps

   Use the C translator to convert the cgm frames in select.cgm to 
   monochrome postscript, and save in select.ps.

At this point you can ftp select.ps from cedar to your home machine,
(ascii text mode), and send it directly to your local postscript printer. 
Then you may want to remove the files on /cedar/d/gonzalo.

You may be able to put some of these things in your .cshrc or .login
files (like the xhost and setenv DISPLAY parts -- your system administrator
can yelp you with that).

Please call or write if you have problems or questions,
