1.1.4. - Batch mode
Besides its interactive mode, in which commands are typed at the keyboard, C-PLOT can take input from command files -- ASCII files containing a command script entered just as it would be typed at the keyboard. Parameters can be passed to command files using a simple argument-substitution scheme, and command files can be nested up to four deep. C-PLOT can be invoked as a background process, taking its input entirely from command files -- plotting and analyzing your data as you perform other tasks.
