Directory macro command |

Macro commands may be used either in macros or by sending the commands to DPlot via dynamic data exchange (DDE). Some commands are valid only in macros (noted by Macros Only). Commands sent to DPlot via DDE must be enclosed by square brackets [ ]. Macro commands should not include the brackets.
Command parameters shown in the descriptions below are placeholders for the actual values. Command parameters are either numeric values or character strings; character string parameters are always bound by double quotation marks.
All indices into arrays are 1-based, e.g. Curve1=1 refers to the first curve in a plot.
A 0x prefix for numbers in the descriptions below indicates hexadecimal notation; e.g. 0x0010 = 16.
JR/Viewer indicates that the command is supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.
JR/Viewer indicates that the command is NOT supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.
Directory("dir")] |

Sets the directory for all subsequent FileOpen and FileSaveAs operations. If the filenames used in a FileOpen or FileSaveAs command begin with a drive letter or backslash (\), the Directory entry is ignored. You can specify a relative path in FileOpen and FileSaveAs commands by including the desired relative path, but not a leading backslash. For example:
Directory("c:\my data")
FileSaveAs(1,"test123\gage001.grf")
will save the current plot to the file c:\my data\test123\gage001.grf.
Please note: This setting persists only during the current DDE conversation, and will be reset to the My Documents\DPlot folder on subsequent conversations. All commands in a single macro are executed during the same conversation. But DPLOTLIB's DPlot_Command function starts a new conversation on each call. So this:
DPlot_Command("[Directory(\"c:\\my data\")]");
DPlot_Command("[FileSaveAs(1,\"test123\\gage001.grf\")]");
will save the file to <My Documents\DPlot>\test123\gage001.grf.
