# Description of the program: make_ps

This program takes a scalar or a three component time series and creates a postscript file with a three dimensional plot, where the third component is encoded in colors. (Beta version)

## Usage:

make_ps [Options]

Everything not being a valid option will be interpreted as a potential datafile name. Given no datafile at all, means read stdin. Also - means stdin

Possible options are:

Option | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
-l# | number of points to use | whole file
-x# | number of lines to be ignored | 0
-c# | column to read or datafile,# (only if -3 is not set) | 1
-d# | delay | 1
-C# | number of colors to use | 32
-s# | size of the plot in cm | 16
-w# | width of lines (size of points) in dots | 1
-t# | textwidth | 15
-p | plot with points instead of lines | lines
-a | make xy tics | no tics
-3 | read 3 columns. Do not use delay coordinates | delay coordinates
-F# | read the specified columns in the specified order (separated by commas, must not contain spaces) only in connection with -3 | 1,2,3
-o# | name of output file | 'datafile'.ps (or stdin.ps if data were read from stdin)
-h | show these options | none

## Description of the Output:

The output is a postscript file, which shows a 3D representation of the data, where the third direction is color coded.
