     GRAP(1)                                                   GRAP(1)

     NAME
          grap - pic preprocessor for drawing graphs

     SYNOPSIS
          grap [ files ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Grap is a pic(1) preprocessor for drawing graphs on a type-
          setter.  Graphs are surrounded by the troff `commands' .G1
          and .G2.  Data that is enclosed is scaled and plotted, with
          tick marks supplied automatically.  Commands exist to modify
          the frame, add labels, override the default ticks, change
          the plotting style, define coordinate ranges and transforma-
          tions, and include data from files.  In addition, grap pro-
          vides the same loops, conditionals and macro processing that
          pic does.

     FILES
          /usr/lib/grap.defines: definitions of standard plotting
          characters, e.g., bullet.
