General Commands
</H2>
The general commands in MIDAS mostly concern setting the
plot characteristic, displaying the setup, assigning the graphic
output device, and sending an existing plot to a device. These
commands are:

<P>
The first two commands in this table are meant for users with
workstations running the X-Window display software. With these
commands one can create and delete graphics window(s). The create
command allows control over the size of the graphics window as well
as the position where it is to be put.
<TT>CLEAR/GRAPHIC</TT><A NAME="8147"> </A> erases the
graphics window or graphics terminal screen.
