Detailsare in the on-line help.4.8 Custom output and captionsThere are several commands that you can use to construct your own output. By default,in GenStat for Windows, this will appear in the Output window. Alternatively, you can usethe OPEN directive to open an external file for output, and the OUTPUT directive to sendsubsequent output there. Also, many commands have a CHANNEL option that lets youdivert output temporarily; for example, see PRINT in Section 3.1. We will not discussthis further here, but you can find the details in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of the Guide to theGenStat Command Language, Part 1 Syntax and Data Management.The main command for output is PRINT, which was described in Section 3.1. This candisplay the contents of any GenStat data structure. It can choose appropriate styles andformats automatically, or you can set your own. For examplePRINT Sulphur,Windsp,Winddir,Rainprints the variates and factors in the pollution data set from Section 4.3, in columns downthe page. The field width is 12 characters, and the numbers of decimal places for thevariates is chosen so that their mean of the absolute values of each variate would bedisplayed to four significant figures.3 PRINT Sulphur,Windsp,Winddir,RainSulphur Windsp Winddir Rain0.00 14.80 W no13.00 14.30 N no12.00 5.50 W no22.00 5.00 NW no12.00 4.50 W no6.00 4.80 NE no2.00 4.30 E no24.00 4.00 SE no36.00 9.30 S no6.00 6.30 NE no10.00 5.80 SW yes4.00 8.30 W yes3.00 16.00 SW yes7.00 15.80 W no2.00 16.00 SW yes3.00 16.70 W yes5.00 9.50 W no6.00 9.80 W yes13.00 12.00 W yes49.00 4.80 N no26.00 2.70 W no6.00 6.50 SW no3.00 13.50 SW yes
