You may continue a command on the next line by putting a minus sign "-" at the end of the current line. TD:SHOW DATA - _TD:STAT=OFF (continuation example)
Optional syntax in a command is shown enclosed in square brackets "[]". Required syntax may be enclosed in braces {}. If options are mutually exclusive they are separated by vertical bars "|" Options within a command may appear in any order. Parameters must follow the option they modify. Options in a command may be separated by tabs spaces * , or =. For example SIZE=5 is the same as SIZE 5 or SIZE=5 or ,SIZE 5.
Commands and options may be abbreviated to the shortest number of unique characters or a minimum of 2 characters. For example the command BARGRAPH may be abbreviated to BARGR, BAR or even BA. SET FILE INPUT may be abbreviated to SE FI IN. All commands may be abbreviated to 3 characters. The minimum abbreviation for each option is underlined.
Commands are read from left to right. If conflicting options are given for the same command, the right most option is used. For example SET AXES ON OFF turns the axes off.
Many commands have synonyms. For example AXES or AXIS, STOP or END, NEW FRAME or NEW PLOT or just NEW.
Comments may be added to a command by enclosing them in parentheses "()".
If the line begins with a double slash, "//" the rest of the line is a
comment.
question_mark
The question mark may be used after a command to get immediate help on
the options. TOPDRAWER will list the various options and what is
expected after each option. If the option expects more key words, they
are not listed.

Additional Information on:
The specified data sets and nset must be histograms with the same spacing between points. If nset is a mesh, then the data sets must also be mesh data. You may convolute a mesh by a normal data set.
NOTE: The inverse convolution of 2 mesh data sets may not be correct. This problem may be fixed in the next version.

DATA
DATA [SET] [NAME="name"] This starts a new data set. If the data is
broken up into sets, you may specify which data set to plot. Also JOIN
and HISTOGRAM will plot each set independently. The Data sets are
numbered in order 1,2,3... When a data set is deleted the remaining data
sets are renumbered. You may specify data sets either by number or name.
You may intermix MESH and regular data sets.

FFT [SETS=[FROM] n1 [TO] [n2]] [SELECT="name"] [CHECK[=ON|OFF]] [LOG[=ON|
OFF]] [INVERT[=ON|OFF]] [APPEND[=ON|OFF]] [NAME="name"]
[POLAR[=ON|OFF]] [MONITOR[=ON|OFF]]
This command produces a complex fast fourier transformation of the
selected data sets. For 2-d data the real part of the coefficients is
stored in Y, and the imaginary part in Z if it exists. If not then DY
contains the imaginary part. X contains the frequency value. No error
analysis is performed by this operation. For mesh data the real part is
stored in Z and the imaginary part in DZ.
1. APPEND=ON Creates a new data set containing the result.
2. CHECK=OFF Turns off the checking to see if data is a histogram.
3. INVERT=ON inverts the forier series contained in Y,Z/DY.
4. SETS selects the data sets to to transform.
5. LOG=ON Logs the operation on your terminal.
6. MONITOR If selected it histograms the original data set and the
result.
See: SET MODE MONITOR
7. POLAR=ON selects polar coordinate output where Y is the
magnitude and Z/DY is the angle. The angle units is selected by
the SET POLAR command.
The selected data must be a histogram, that is the X values must be equally spaced and strictly monotonic, and there must be at least 2 points in each data set.
Additional Information on:
If the filled data set has finite DX then it is incremented by the fraction of the curve that lies within the DX of X.
If you specify LEVEL=n and DY is finite then n steps are used to find the part of the curve that lies within each channel +-DY.
Additional Information on:
Fits data and optionally produces a curve containing the fit. The coefficients are typed on the terminal and placed as comments in the log file. Data points with zero or negative values of DY are omitted from the fit. If DY does not exist or is 0.0 for all specified data then DY is assumed to be 1.0. If all coefficients are constrained, no fitting is done, but you may generate the curve for those coefficients. You may subtract the FIT from a data set with the SUBTRACT command.

Interpolates a data set and puts the result into a new data set. LEVEL
is the number of intervals per pair of points. If 2 a single point is
interpolated in between each existing point. If it is 5 then 4 points
are interpolated. X, Y, and Z if available are all interpolated.
The data must be strictly monotonic in either Y or X for a SPLINE interplation.
If the first and last points of a curve are the same, the curve is assumed to be closed, and the interpolation is done accordingly. If the data is POLAR or SPHERICAL then the angles must vary smoothly for proper closure.

LOG shows which sets are merged. 5. NAME specifies the name of the new data set. 6. POINTS selects the data points by number 7. SETS selects the range of data sets to merge. 8. SELECT selects the data sets by name You must specify either SETS, POINTS, LIMITED, or ALL If the range of data sets contains a mesh data set and APPEND is not specified, the data can not be merged.

Additional Information on:
If you press Ctrl_C then TOPDRAWER will skip input until another STOP command is encountered, or the file ends. Pressing Ctrl_C twice rapidly in succession will abort all file input. Pressing Ctrl_C twice rapidly in succession again will cause the program to ask you if you wish to abort.
Additional Information on:
This causes TOPDRAWER type the string and PAUSE. This only works in a file or inside a repeat block. You press the "Return" key to continue. If instead of "return" you type in STOP, TOPDRAWER will stop executing the input file or repeat block and return to command level. You can also type EXIT, QUIT, HALT, END, or Ctrl_Z instead of STOP. You may also use SET and SHOW commands while paused.

Replace the X,Y, or Z values by new values that give a smooth curve. The data is assumed to be a histogram of equally spaced bins. An alternate way of smoothing data is by convolution. See COMMAND CONVOLUTE. A convolution may be used to both smooth and "sharpen" the data.
Additional Information on:
example
TD:SORT X Y Z SYMBOL
Sorts data so that all low X are first. Within groups of identical X
values all low Y values are first, and so on. Since DX,DY,DZ are omitted
the actual sorting order is: X,Y,Z,SYMBOL,DX,DY,DZ.
SPAWN
This command temporarily spawns out of TOPDRAWER to VMS. The SPAWN
command is not journaled unless ABORT=OFF MODE is selected.
SPAWN [dcl_command]
For example you are trying to do a plot, but you have forgotten the filename with the TOPDRAWER source, so you: TD:SPAWN DIRECTORY You will get a directory listing so you can find the file name.
If you use the SPAWN command with no parameters, you return to TOPDRAWER
with the VMS command:
$ LOGOFF
STOP
STOP|END|EXIT|HALT|QUIT ['string'] These commands all stop
TOPDRAWER. Any data remaining in the buffers is flushed, and all output
files are closed.
This is also equivalent to typing Ctrl_Z if Ctrl_Z is ON.
The program is stopped and the string is typed. If you wish to stop in
the middle type Ctrl_C. This will abort the current operation and
restore the prompt. If you are in the middle of getting data from a
file, the file will skip to the next CLEAR or STOP command. Pressing
Ctrl_C twice rapidly in succession will abort all file input. If you
type Ctrl_C twice rapidly again you will be prompted if you wish to
terminate the program completely.

[SELECT="name"]
[ERROR[=ON|OFF]]
This command swaps the data for 2 variables.
If ERROR is specified then the corresponding errors are swapped with the data. (Default:ERROR=ON for REVISION>4.99)
This is useful if the data is in the wrong location for the type of plot
you wish to make. An example of this is making 3-d plots from binned
data. You have read in data, X,Y,DY and you have binned it into a
frequency distribution using the BIN command. Now the result is in
X,Y,DX,DY. You wish to make a 3-d histogram, but the data must be in
X,Z,DX,DZ. To fix the problem:
TD:SWAP Z WITH Y
TD:SWAP DZ WITH DY
Now you can set the Y value and perform the histogram.
TD:Y=10.0
TD:SET THREE ON
TD:HISTOGRAM
You may copy data using the X,Y,Z,DX,... commands.
