Mapping of Output Engine Parameters¶
This section specifies the mapping of PLOSSYS 4 and gXnetplot parameters to Output Engine parameters. PLOSSYS Output Engine understands Output Engine and PLOSSYS 4 parameters, as well as native IPP attributes. For the mapping of IPP attributes to Output Engine parameters, refer to IPP Attribute Mapping.
PLOSSYS 4 to Output Engine Parameters¶
When you change your output management system from PLOSSYS 4 to PLOSSYS Output Engine, you do not have to change your processes. PLOSSYS Output Engine 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 Output Engine.

For a detailed description of all available job parameters, refer to the PLOSSYS Job Parameter documentation.
gXnetplot to Output Engine Parameters¶
When you change your output management system from gXnetplot to PLOSSYS Output Engine, 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 Output Engine
While gXnetplot can scale differently for each direction, PLOSSYS Output Engine supports only one scaling factor for both directions.
