PLOT(1G)                             BSD                              PLOT(1G)



NAME
     plot - graphics filters

SYNOPSIS
     plot [ -Tterminal ] [ -rresolution ] [ file... ]

DESCRIPTION
     These commands read plotting instructions (see plot(5)) from the standard
     input or the specified files, and in general produce plotting
     instructions suitable for a particular terminal on the standard output.
     The -r flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution
     (currently only the IMAGEN* laser printer understands this option).

     If run from a Display Manager window, a new window is created to display
     the plot.

     If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see
     environ(7)) is used.  Known terminals include:

     apollo        Any Apollo display.

     apollo.15P    Apollo 15-inch display.

     apollo.19L    Apollo 19-inch display.

                   Enhanced Graphics Module).

                   These versions of plot use the -g option of lpr(1) to send
                   the result directly to the plotter device rather than to
                   the standard output.
