XPRISM2(FILES)               Khoros                XPRISM2(FILES)

     OVERVIEW

     An Xprism2 file can be output as a VIFF file, which is the
     image file format used by KHOROS.  It is comprised of a
     header that contains all of the necessary information about
     the image file, followed by the data.  A VIFF image file may
     be broken down into an IMPLICIT or EXPLICIT image.  An
     IMPLICIT image contains Z data, with the location informa-
     tion (ie. X and Y axis) implied from the data itself. An
     EXPLICIT image contains the data as well as the specific
     location information.  A more detailed description of IMPLI-
     CIT and EXPLICIT image is provided by accessing the HELP
     button on the "Input File" pane of the "Plot" subform.

     The four ways to output a plot in xprism are:

     Explicit file

          an Explicit Khoros Image File from the information
          describing a (single) plot

     mplicit file

          an Implicit Khoros Image File from the information
          describing a (single) plot

     Khoros VIFF file map

          the Y data values are saved in a Khoros VIFF file map.

     Screen dump

          the literal xprism workspace image may be saved as a
          Khoros Image file

     To output a plot in any form, that plot must have been pre-
     viously created and plotted using the "Input" pane of the
     "Plot" subform, and must be displayed on the screen when you
     select the output option. If there is more than one plot in
     the  graphics workspace, you will be prompted to indicate
     which plot you are interested in.  If there is only one plot
     in the window, it is assumed that it is the plot you want.
