plotout

           creates hardcopy of last plot

           cafe

           plotout, [file["["param"]"]], [,filetype][,/clobber][,/append]

           file     - the file name the plot will be sent to. From its
                      extension the filetype will be derived.
           filetype - Possibility to coerce a certain file
                      type. Available file types may be shown with
                      > help, plotout, all

           param    - Allow to send some parameters to the filetype
                      handler.

          clobber   - Do not ask when overriding an existing plot
                      file.
          append    - Do not close the plotout file/plotout process.
                      This means that if /append is used and no plot
                      file is given the plotout writes into the
                      former file (the actual behaviour depends on
                      the file type).
                      If there is no former file the default
                      "cafe.ps" will be used.
                      If the file name is "none" or a plotout command
                      omits the /append keyword the last file will
                      be closed (so appending into this file stops).
                      Warning: forgetting once "/append" will clean
                      the file(s) already plottet to.

           All options may be set with the "set" command. The
           command prefix is "plotout".

           Switches device but restores window one.

               > plot, data,delchi, 2
               > plotout, graph.ps, eps
                -> plot data and chi of group 2 into eps file "graph.ps".
