     PLOT(1)                                                   PLOT(1)

     NAME
          plot - graphics filters

     SYNOPSIS
          plot [ -Tterminal ]

     DESCRIPTION
          These filters read plotting instructions (see plot(5)) from
          the standard input, and in general produce plotting instruc-
          tions suitable for a particular terminal on the standard
          output.

          If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter
          `TERM' (see environ(5)) is used.  Known terminals are:

          2621
          hp   Hewlett-Packard screen terminal.

          4014
          tek  Tektronix 4014 storage scope.

          troff
               Convert to troff(1) input.

          5620
          jerq Teletype DMD display under mux(9.1). The filter per-
               sists after plotting, to make a layer that skips down-
               loading on subsequent plots.

          750
          pen  Hewlett-Packard pen plotter.

     BUGS
          A persistent plot layer on a 5620 terminal imitates `term
          33', it loses most abilities of a mux(9.1) layer; see
          term(9.1).
          Which plotters are known depends on which computer you are
          on.
