Program Dimensions

  

The size of the internal program arrays may be specified on the command line by using the -dim or -dimensions option. (-DIM, -DIMENSIONS, +dim, +dimensions, +DIM, and +DIMENSIONS are equivalent.) This avoids having to edit the DIMENSION OF PROGRAM ARRAYS form, and unless other options are used starts-up FIT2D with the memory array, but without variance arrays. The -dim option should be immediately followed by the size of the program arrays to create in the X-direction, and the size of the arrays to create in the Y-direction separated by an x or an X[*].

e.g. The following operating system command line would start FIT2D with current data and memory arrays of 500 elements in the X-direction and 700 elements in the Y-direction, but no variance arrays:

> fit2d -dim500x700

(The DIMENSIONS command may be used within a macro as an alternative method of changing the size of program arrays from the default values.)
