Manual for psimpoll and pscomb
Menu
This menu has two forms, one for each of the two PostScript output files,
main and age-depth.
Toggling item a switches between the two forms.
Available colours for any part of either diagram are those stored in the
colour palette.
C Changing colours
a Output file (main) [MAIN]
b Background colour (white) [white]
c Foreground colour (black) [black]
d Colour of plots (black) [black]
e Colour of title (black) [black]
f Colour of age-depth axis (black) [black]
g Colour of 14C column (black) [black]
h Colour of sediment column foreground (black) [black]
i Colour of zone column foreground (black) [black]
j Colour of x-axes (black) [black]
k Use colours for sediment units (on) [on]
l Use colours for zones (on) [on]

Toggles from colours for main output file to colours for age-depth
output file.
Colours the entire background of both plots.
Default is `white', which does not print.
Colour of `ink' for the lines and lettering of the plot, establishing the
default that may be over-ridden for any particular part.
Default is `black'.
Colour of the foreground of plots.
Colours can also be selected for individual types: see
menu K. Default is `black'.
Colour of the title. Default is `black'.
Colour of the foreground of the age-depth axis, at both sides of the plot.
Default is `black'.
Colour of the foreground of the 14C column, including the colour used to
fill the blocks marking the position of dated samples.
Colour of the foreground of the sediment column: the `ink' used to mark the
Troels-Smith symbols. Colours for the background of each sediment unit are
read from the TS file, and are used if the switch at
menu Ck is `on'.
Colour of the foreground of the zone column: the `ink' used to mark the
labels and zone lines. Colours for the background of each zone are
read from the ZONE file, and are used if the switch at
menu Cl is `on'.
Colour of the foreground of all the x-axis scales and labelling of the
diagram.
Controls whether the colours for sediment units, read from the TS
file, are used. These colours fill the background of the sediment column,
replacing the main background colour (menu Cb).
Toggles from `on' to `off'.
Controls whether the colours for zones, read from the ZONE file,
are used. These colours fill the background across the entire width of
the diagram, replacing the main background colour
(menu Cb). The coloured zones are (invisibly)
divided into blocks corresponding to the part of each zone that forms the
background for each taxon. This means that a taxon selected by pscomb
from a plot with coloured zones will also have a coloured background.
Toggles from `on' to `off'.
a Output file (main) [AGE-DEPTH]
b Background colour (white) [white]
c Colour of main curve (black) [black]
d Colour of confidence interval curves (black) [black]
e Colour of points (black) [black]
f Colour of depth axis (black) [black]
g Colour of x-axis (black) [black]

Toggles from colours for age-depth output file to colours for main
output file.
Colours the entire background of both plots.
Default is `white', which does not print.
Colour of the main plotted curve. Default is `black'.
Colour of both confidence interval curves. Default is `black'.
Colour of the points (crosses) marking the location of data used
in the calculation of the curve. Default is `black'.
Colour of the y-axis, labelled with the depth scale. Default is `black'.
Colour of the x-axis, labelled with the calculated time-scale.
Default is `black'.
