DESCRIPTION

15       PAW  is  an  interactive utility for visualizing experimental data on a
16       computer graphics display. It may be run in batch mode if  desired  for
17       very  large  and  time consuming data analyses; typically, however, the
18       user will decide on an analysis procedure interactively before  running
19       a batch job.
20
21       PAW combines a handful of CERN High Energy Physics Library systems that
22       may also be used individually in software that processes  and  displays
23       data.   The  purpose of PAW is to provide many common analysis and dis‐
24       play procedures that would be duplicated needlessly by individual  pro‐
25       grammers,  to  supply a flexible way to invoke these common procedures,
26       and yet also to allow user customization where necessary.
27
28       PAW++ is a Motif-based version of PAW.

31   OPTIONS
32       When paw starts, the macro pawlogon.kumac in the current  directory  is
33       executed.  If  this macro doesn't exist the system tries to execute the
34       macro .pawlogon.kumac in the home directory.
35
36       -n      The macro pawlogon is not executed.
37
38       -b macro_name
39               The macro specified is executed in batch  mode  and  paw  exits
40               when the macro ends.
41
42       -w workstation_type
43               PAW  starts  immediately  without prompting for the workstation
44               type.  If workstation_type = 0, paw starts without graphics.
45
46               When the X11 version of paw is used, a list of 10  valid  work‐
47               station  types  is  provided  in the file higz_windows.dat.  By
48               default this file is in the current directory. If  it  is  not,
49               the one in the home directory is used. If it is not in the home
50               directory, one is automatically created in the  current  direc‐
51               tory.   Each  line  in this file describes the position and the
52               size of the window. To access one of the described  windows  it
53               is enough to give the line number in reply to the prompt "Work‐
54               station type"

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

58       HIGZPRINTER         Specifies the command line executed when  the  com‐
59                           mand PICTURE/PRINT is invoked.
60
61       KUIPPAGER, PAGER    Checked  in this order to determine what pager pro‐
62                           gram to use.  If neither are set,  'sensible-pager'
63                           is used in Debian.
64
65       KUIPEDITOR, EDITOR  Checked  in  this order to determine what editor to
66                           use.  If neither are set, 'sensible-editor' is used
67                           in Debian.
68
69       KUIPPSVIEWER, PSVIEWER
70                           Checked  in  this order to determine the program to
71                           use for viewing PostScript.  If  neither  are  set,
72                           'gv' is used.
73
74       $ENV()              Any  environment  variable  can  be accessed in paw
75                           with the function $ENV().
