xi (copy_image)  copy a display image into a graphics map file
usage:  [range xi [-f pathname]]



DESCRIPTION
     The xi command copies a display image into a graphics map file (GMF).  If
     you do not mark the portion of the display window you want to copy, xi
     copies the entire window where the cursor is positioned.  Use the prf
     shell command with the -plot option  to print the GMF.

ARGUMENTS
     range (optional)
                    Specify the range of image to be copied.

                    Default if omitted:  copy current window

OPTIONS
     -f pathname    Specify the GMF output file.  If you omit this option, xi
                    writes the image to `node_data/paste_buffers/default.gmf.

NOTE
     On a color node, only the text plane (plane 0) is copied.  A color image
     is not copied.
