     PLOT(3X)                                                 PLOT(3X)

     NAME
          plot: openpl et al. - graphics interface

     SYNOPSIS
          openpl( )

          erase( )

          label(s) char s[ ];

          line(x1, y1, x2, y2)

          circle(x, y, r)

          arc(x, y, x0, y0, x1, y1)

          move(x, y)

          cont(x, y)

          point(x, y)

          linemod(s) char s[ ];

          space(x0, y0, x1, y1)

          closepl( )

     DESCRIPTION
          These subroutines generate graphic output in a relatively
          device-independent manner.  See plot(5) for a description of
          their effect.  Openpl must be used before any of the others
          to open the device for writing.  Closepl flushes the output.

          String arguments to label and linemod are null-terminated,
          and do not contain newlines.

          Various flavors of these functions exist for different out-
          put devices. They are obtained by the following ld(1)
          options:

          -lplot  device-independent graphics stream on standard out-
                  put for plot(1) filters
          -l300   GSI 300 terminal
          -l300s  GSI 300S terminal
          -l450   DASI 450 terminal
          -l4014  Tektronix 4014 terminal
