Mapping of PLOSSYS 5 Parameters¶
This section specifies the mapping of PLOSSYS 4 and gXnetplot parameters to PLOSSYS 5 parameters. PLOSSYS 5 understands PLOSSYS 5 and PLOSSYS 4 parameters, as well as native IPP attributes. For the mapping of IPP attributes to PLOSSYS 5 parameters, refer to IPP Attribute Mapping.
PLOSSYS 4 to PLOSSYS 5 Parameters¶
When you change your output management system from PLOSSYS 4 to PLOSSYS 5, you do not have to change your processes. PLOSSYS 5 will map the PLOSSYS 4 job parameters according to the table below.
| P4 Job Parameter | Value | P5 Job Parameter |
|---|---|---|
PLS_PLOTSCALE |
<float> | scaleFactor=<PLS_PLOTSCALE> |
PLS_PLOTSCALE |
<string> | mediaSize=<PLS_PLOTSCALE> scaleMode=fillFit |
PLS_SCALETYPE |
/DINSCL |
scaleMode=fitMediaSize |
PLS_SCALETYPE |
/MAXSCL |
scaleMode=fitPrintArea |
PLS_SCALETYPE |
/NOSCAL |
scaleMode=clip |
The value /INTSCL for PLS_SCALETYPE is not supported by PLOSSYS 5.

For a detailed description of all available job parameters, refer to the PLOSSYS Job Parameter documentation.
gXnetplot to PLOSSYS 5 Parameters¶
When you change your output management system from gXnetplot to PLOSSYS 5, you need to adapt your processes according to the table below to gain similar results.
| gXnetplot Parameter | Value | P5 Job Parameter | P5 Printer Parameter |
|---|---|---|---|
mode |
original |
scaleMode=clip |
|
mode |
fit with negative tolerance |
scaleMode=fitMediaSize |
|
mode |
fit with positive tolerance |
scaleMode=fitPrintArea |
|
mode |
abstract |
scaleMode=fillFit |
|
format |
<string> | mediaSize=<format> |
|
scale |
<float> | scaleFactor=<scale> |
|
align |
not supported | alignment |
|
tolerance |
|||
rotate |
not supported | rotation |
Caution - only one scale factor in PLOSSYS 5
While gXnetplot can scale differently for each direction, PLOSSYS 5 supports only one scaling factor for both directions.
