+ \E

+ A server or a client does not necessarily implement full specifications
+ of @b{OpenXM}. If a program sends data unknown to its peer, an unrecoverable
+ error may occur. To avoid such a case @b{OpenXM} provides a scheme not
+ to send data unknown to peers. It is realized by exchanging the list of
+ supported @b{CMO} and @b{SM}. The list is called mathcap.
+ Mathcap is also defined as a @b{CMO} and the elements are 32bit integers
+ or strings.
+ The format of mathcap is as follows.
+ [[version number, server name],@b{SM}taglist,
+ [[@b{OX}tag,@b{CMO}taglist],[@b{OX}tag,@b{CMO}taglist],...]]
+ [@b{OX}tag,@b{CMO}taglist] indicates that available object tags for
+ a category of data specified by @b{OX}tag.
+ For example @samp{ox_asir} accepts the local object format used by @b{Asir}
+ and the mathcap from @samp{ox_asir} reflects the fact.
+ If @code{"ox_check"} switch of @code{ctrl} is set to 1,
+ the check by a mathcap is done before data is sent.
+ If @code{"ox_check"} switch of @code{ctrl} is set to 0,
+ the check is not done.
+ By default it is set to 1.

+ @item
+ The plotting functions are realized by an OpenXM server.
+ On UNIX it is @samp{ox_plot} in @b{Asir} root directory.
+ On Windows @samp{engine} acts as @samp{ox_plot}.
+ Of course, it must be activated by @code{ox_launch()} @code{ox_launch_nox()}.
+ If the identifier of an active @samp{ox_plot} is specified as @var{id},
+ the server is used for drawing pictures.
+ If @var{id} is not specified, an available @samp{ox_plot} server
+ is used if it exists. If no @samp{ox_plot} server is available,
+ then @code{ox_launch_nox()} is automatically executed to
+ invoke @samp{ox_plot}.
+ @item
+ Argument @var{func} is indispensable. Other arguments are optional.
+ The format of optional arguments and their default values (parenthesized)
+ are listed below.
+ @table @var
+ @item geometry
+ Window size is specified by [@var{x},@var{y}] in unit `dot.'
+ [@code{300},@code{300}] for UNIX version;
+ @item xrange  yrange
+ Value ranges of the variables are specified by [@var{v},@var{vmin},@var{vmax}].
+ ([@var{v},@code{-2},@code{2}] for each variable.)
+ If this specification is omitted, the indeterminate having the higher
+ order in @var{func} is taken for @samp{x} and the one with lower order
+ is taken for @samp{y}.  To change this selection, specify explicitly
+ by @var{xrange} and/or @var{yrange}.
+ For an uni-variate function, the specification is mandatory.
+ @item zrange
+ This specification applies only to @code{conplot()}.  The format is
+ [@var{v},@var{vmin},@var{vmax} @code{[},@var{step} @code{]}].
+ If @var{step} is specified, the height difference of contours is set to
+ (@var{vmax}-@var{vmin})/@var{step}.
+ ([@var{z},@code{-2},@code{2},@code{16}].)
+ @item id
+ This specifies the number of the remote process by which you wish
+ to draw a graph.
+ (The number for the newest active process.)
+ @item name
+ The name of the window.
+ (@code{Plot}.)
+ The created window is titled @var{name:n/m} which means the @var{m}-th
+ window of the process with process number @var{n}.
+ These numbers are used for @code{plotover()}.
+ @end table
+ @item
+ The maximum number of the windows that can be created on a process is
+.
+ @item
+ Function @code{plotover()} superposes reals zeros of its argument
+ bi-variate function onto the specified window.
+ @item
+ Enlarged plot can be obtained for rectangular area which is specified,
+ on an already existing window with a graph,
+ by dragging cursor with the left button of mouse
+ from the upper-left corner to lower-right corner
+ and then releasing it.
+ Then, a new window is created whose shape is similar to the specified
+ area and whose size is determined so that the largest
+ side of the new window has the same size of the largest side of
+ the original window.
+ If you wish to cancel the action, drag the cursor to any point
+ above or left of the starting point.
+ This facility is effective when @code{precise} button switch is
+ inactive.  If @code{precise} is selected and active, the area specified
+ by the cursor dragging will be rewritten on the same window. This
+ will be explained later.
+ @item
+ A click of the right button will display the current coordinates of
+ the cursor at the bottom area of the window.
+ @item
+ Place the cursor at any point in the right marker area on
+ a window created by @code{conplot()},
+ and drag the cursor with the middle mutton.  Then you will find the contour lines changing
+ their colors depending on the movement of the cursor and the
+ corresponding height level displayed on the upper right corner of
+ the window.
+ @item
+ Several operations are available on the window: by button operations
+ for UNIX version, and pull-down menus for Windows version.
+ @table @code
+ @item quit
+ Destroys (kills) the window.  While computing, quit the current
+ computation.
+ If one wants to interrupt the computation, use @code{ox_reset()}.
+ @item wide (toggle)
+ Will display, on the same window, a new area enlarged by 10 times
+ as large as the current area for both width-direction and
+ height-direction.  The current area will be indicated by a rectangle
+ placed at the center.  Area specification by dragging the cursor will
+ create a new window with a plot of the graph in the specified area.
+ @item precise (toggle)
+ When selected and active,
+ @code{ox_plot} redraws the specified area more precisely by integer
+ arithmetic.
+ This mode uses bisection method based on Sturm sequence computation to
+ locate real zeros precisely.  More precise plotting can be expected
+ by this technique than by the default plotting technique, at the expense
+ of significant increase of computing time.  As you see by above
+ explanation, this function is only effective to polynomials with
+ rational coefficients.
+ (Check how they differ for (x^2+y^2-1)^2.)
+ @item formula
+ Displays the expression for the graph.
+ @item noaxis (toggle)
+ Erase the coordinates.
+ @end table
+ @item
+ Program @samp{ox_plot} may consume much stack space depending on
+ which machine it is running.
+ You are recommended to set the stack size to about 16MB as large
+ in @samp{.cshrc} for safe.
+ To specify the size, put @code{limit stacksize 16m} for an example.

+ You can customize various resources of a window on @code{X}, e.g.,
