NAME¶
paw - invoke the "Physics Analysis Workstation" package
SYNOPSIS¶
paw [-b
macro_name] [-w
workstation_type] [-n]
paw++ [-b
macro_name] [-n]
DESCRIPTION¶
PAW is an interactive utility for visualizing experimental data on a computer
graphics display. It may be run in batch mode if desired for very large and
time consuming data analyses; typically, however, the user will decide on an
analysis procedure interactively before running a batch job.
PAW combines a handful of CERN High Energy Physics Library systems that may also
be used individually in software that processes and displays data. The purpose
of PAW is to provide many common analysis and display procedures that would be
duplicated needlessly by individual programmers, to supply a flexible way to
invoke these common procedures, and yet also to allow user customization where
necessary.
Paw++ is a Motif-based version of PAW.
OPTIONS¶
When
paw starts, the macro
pawlogon.kumac in the current directory
is executed. If this macro doesn't exist the system tries to execute the macro
.pawlogon.kumac in the home directory.
- -n
- The macro pawlogon is not executed.
- -b macro_name
- The macro specified is executed in batch mode and paw exits when
the macro ends.
- -w workstation_type
- PAW starts immediately without prompting for the workstation type. If
workstation_type = 0, paw starts without graphics.
When the X11 version of paw is used, a list of 10 valid workstation types is
provided in the file higz_windows.dat. By default this file is in
the current directory. If it is not, the one in the home directory is
used. If it is not in the home directory, one is automatically created in
the current directory. Each line in this file describes the position and
the size of the window. To access one of the described windows it is
enough to give the line number in reply to the prompt "Workstation
type"
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
- HIGZPRINTER
- Specifies the command line executed when the command PICTURE/PRINT is
invoked.
- KUIPPAGER, PAGER
- Checked in this order to determine what pager program to use. If neither
are set, 'sensible-pager' is used in Debian.
- KUIPEDITOR, EDITOR
- Checked in this order to determine what editor to use. If neither are set,
'sensible-editor' is used in Debian.
- KUIPPSVIEWER, PSVIEWER
- Checked in this order to determine the program to use for viewing
PostScript. If neither are set, 'gv' is used.
- $ENV()
- Any environment variable can be accessed in paw with the function
$ENV().
