pcltrans -C -p file.pjet.xx | lp -oraw

The last example assumes that the PaintJet is the default output device.

Notes

• The -P option expands the plot to fit on the default paper size of the plotter.


• You may need to use the -k option of pcltrans to remove the black background on plots created using
  the X11 graphics driver.


• If the environment variable SB_X_SHARED_CMAP is set to true, the /PCOPY command may not produce
  correct plots. T o avoid this problem, unset this variable before running either the ANSYS program or the
  DISPLAY program when /PCOPY will be used.


• When using an HCRX 24 or CRX 24 graphics board, you must set the ANSYS environment variable
  ANS_SNGLBUF to 1 to produce graphics displays on the HP PaintJet printer.

10.4.7. PostScript Hard-Copy Option.

When you are using the PostScript Hard-Copy option on a CRX 24 or HCRX 24 graphics board, set the
environment variable ANS_SNGLBUF = 1 to get a higher quality image. This variable disables double
buffering. Therefore, set it only before you use the Hard-Copy option.

10.4.8. IBM RS/6000 Graphics Drivers

Both X11 and 3-D graphics drivers are supported on the IBM RS/6000 workstations in the AIX windowing
environment. The 3-D driver incorporates the Silicon Graphics licensed software, OpenGL.

10.4.9. Silicon Graphics Drivers

Both X11 and SGI OpenGL graphics drivers are supported on the Silicon Graphics (SGI) workstations.

10.4.10. Sun UltraSPARC Graphics Drivers (32 and 64 bit versions)

If ANSYS is not invoked from the launcher or the ansys150 script, each ANSYS user's .cshrc file
must contain the following environment variable definitions in order to use the Solaris graphics drivers:

• For the X11 and 3-D OpenGL graphics drivers, the required environment variable definitions are:

For 32 bit:

setenv OPENWINHOME path/openwin

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/ansys_inc/v150/ansys/syslib/usparc:/ansys_inc/v150/ansys/lib/usparc:/usr/lib

For 64 bit:
