The Dataplot web site is at the following address:
Specifically, the Dataplot Reference Manual is available online at the following address:
The WEB HELP allows you to access the on-line Reference Manual using a web browser. That is, this command initiates a web browser and, based on the keyword you specify, takes you to a specific page in the Reference Manual. This command is host dependent (it utilizes a "system" call to initiate the browser). It is currently supported for Unix and Windows 95/98/NT platforms. See the Note section below for some SET commands that allow you to specify which browser to use. To see a list of supported keywords, enter the command
The online Reference Manual is a combination of HTML and PDF files. To view the PDF files, you need a plug-in for your browser that can read PDF files. You can download a free PDF viewer from the Adobe Acrobat site (http://www.adobe.com/). In viewing the online Reference Manual, you can either pick a generic topic (e.g., simply entering WEB HELP takes you to the introductory page for the Reference Manual) and use the web browser to navigate to the pages you need. Alternatively, you can access a specific page (e.g., WEB HELP PLOT takes you to the documentation for the PLOT command).

If you wish to use a different browser, or if you need to specify a different path for Netscape, you can enter the following command:

The enclosing quotes are necessary because the file name contains spaces. Again, you should verify that this is the correct path on your system. If you need to enter this command, you should consider putting it in you DPLOGF.TEX startup file to make it the default for your system. Alternatively, you can enter the following operating system command under Unix:
On Windows 95/98/NT, you can enter the following operating system command:
Again, if you need to enter this command, you should consider putting it in you DPLOGF.TEX startup file to make it the default for your system. Alternatively, you can enter the following operating system command under Unix:
On Windows 95/98/NT, you can enter the following operating system command:
To use a currently open Netscape browser, enter the command
To open a new browser, even if a browser is currently open, enter the command
The default is NEW. This option is ignore for non-Netscape browsers and on the Windows 95/98/NT platforms.
Under Unix, once the WEB HELP command initiates the browser, control returns to Dataplot. You can independently navigate in the browser and enter additional Dataplot commands. Under Windows 95/98/NT, once the browser is initiated, control does not return to Dataplot until the browser is closed.
