PLOT(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PLOT(1)

NAME
plot - graphics filter SYNOPSIS
plot [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION
Plot interprets plotting instructions (see plot(6)) from the files or standard input, drawing the results in a newly created 81/2(1) win- dow. Plot persists until a newline is typed in the window. Various options may be interspersed with the file arguments; they take effect at the given point in processing. Options are: -d Double buffer: accumulate the plot off-screen and write to the screen all at once when an erase command is encountered or at end of file. -e Erase the screen. -c col Set the foreground color (see plot(6) for color names). -f fill Set the background color. -g grade Set the quality factor for arcs. Higher grades give better quality. -p col Set the pen color. -w Pause until a newline is typed on standard input. -C Close the current plot. -W x0,y0,x1,y1 Specify the bounding rectangle of plot's window. By default it uses a 512x512 window in the middle of the screen. SOURCE

NAME
plot: openpl et al. - f77 library interface to plot(3X) libraries. SYNOPSIS
subroutine openpl() subroutine erase() subroutine label(str) character str*(*) subroutine line(ix1, iy1, ix2, iy2) subroutine box(ix1, iy1, ix2, iy2) Draw a rectangle and leave the cursor at ( ix2,iy2). subroutine circle(ix, iy, ir) subroutine arc(ix, iy, ix0, iy0, ix1, iy1) subroutine move(ix, iy) subroutine cont(ix, iy) subroutine point(ix, iy) subroutine linemd(str) character str*(*) subroutine space(ix0, iy0, ix1, iy1) subroutine clospl() DESCRIPTION
These are interface subroutines, in the library -lf77plot, allowing f77 users to call the plot(3X) graphics routines which generate graphic output in a relatively device-independent manner. The f77 subroutine names are the same as the C function names except that linemod and closepl have been shortened to linemd and clospl . See plot(5) and plot(3X) for a description of their effect. Only the first 255 character in string arguments to label and linemd are used. This library must be specified in the f77(1) command before the device specific graphics library; for example, to compile and load a FOR- TRAN program in prog.f to run on a Tektronix 4014 terminal: f77 prog.f -lf77plot -l4014 See plot(3X) for a complete list of device specific plotting libraries.
