Chapter 10: Getting Started with Graphics
DISPLAY=Your_Workstation:0.0
export DISPLAY
Your_Workstation is either the host name of the IP address of your workstation.
3. Execute the ANSYS program and X11 graphics will be displayed on your workstation monitor:
ansys130 -d x11 -g
10.4.5. HP Graphics Drivers
The X11 and 3-D OpenGL graphics drivers are supported on the HP workstations. You must install the OpenGL
libraries on the system to use the OpenGL graphics driver.
CRX and HCRX graphics devices can use only the X11 graphics driver, unless you have installed the Power-
Shade software on the machine.
If you are running HP CDE, set the color Use option to BLACK AND WHITE. You can do so using the HP
Style Manager - Color Option.
10.4.6. Producing GraphicDisplays on an HP PaintJet Printer
You can produce hard copy outputs from within the ANSYS program on a PaintJet printer when running
on an HP workstation. To do so, issue this command:
/pcopy,key
To produce a hard copy from within the DISPLAY program, use this command:
term,copy,key
Possible values for key are:
0
1
now
Turn hard copy option off.
Copy each successive display, placing them in a bitmap file named file.pjet.xx.
Copy the current display, placing it in a bitmap file named file.pjet.xx.
The xx is a two-digit integer between 00 and 99.
You can send the bitmap file resulting from either of the commands shown above to a PaintJet printer. To
print the file.pjet.xx file, use the HP-UX command pcltrans. The format for this command is as follows:
pcltrans -C -p file.pjet.xx > /dev/paintjet
The value /dev/paintjet is the device name for the printer. If the printer is connected to a spooler, use
the following command:
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.
