## Prefab examples

For .ig >> prefab examples, you will arrive at the prefab's man page and you can view additional examples, along with the commands that were used.`` <h2>Script examples</h2> For <b>script</b> examples, you will see the image with the <b>ploticus</b> script that generated the image.`` <b>Are the script files HTML?</b> Not really. They are <a href="../doc/scripts.html">ploticus script files</a>.`` They are named with an <b>.htm</b> suffix and contain some HTML tags, to allow them to look nice when displayed in your web browser. Ploticus ignores the HTML tags.`` <p> <b>Script file names:</B> can be anything, although a <b>.p</b>, <b>.pl</b>, <b>.pls</b> or <b>.htm</b> suffix is recommended.`` <p> <br> <b>To download a script</b> that you are viewing in your browser, use your browser's <b>File/Save As</b> menu button.`` The result should be HTML ("Source").`` The downloaded file will be placed in your local current working directory (the directory where you started your browser).`` If the script references other files (e.g. a data file), you will need to download those as well (a link should be provided).`` <br> <p> <br> <b>To try ploticus on your own system</b>: After you have <a href="../doc/Download.html">downloaded</a> the software, suppose you then downloaded the ploticus script called <b>lineplot1.htm</b> <p> <li>To create a GIF file (lineplot1.gif), type this command: <center><b>pl -gif lineplot1.htm</b></center> <p> <li>To create an EPS file (lineplot1.eps), type: <center><b>pl -eps lineplot1.htm</b></center> <p> <li>To create paginated PostScript, and send it directly to your printer, type: <center><b>pl -ps lineplot1.htm | lp</b></center> <p> <li>To view on an X11 display, type: <center><b>pl -x11 lineplot1.htm</b></center>
