NAME

plot − graphics filters

SYNTAX

plot [−Tterminal[raster]] [−l#] [−w#] [−c#]

DESCRIPTION

The plot command reads plotting instructions from the standard input and produces plotting instructions for a specified terminal on the standard output.  For further information see plot(.).

OPTIONS

The following options are available with the plot command.

−TterminalUses the specified terminal name as the terminal type for which plotting instructions are to be generated.  If a terminal type is not specified, the environment parameter $TERM is used. For more information, see environ(.). The terminal type can be one of the following:

4020Tektronix 4020 storage scope. 

450DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (diablo mechanism). 

300DASI 300 or GSI terminal (diablo mechanism). 

300SDASI 300S terminal (diablo mechanism). 

verVersatec D1200A printer-plotter. This version of plot places a scan-converted image in /usr/tmp/raster and sends the result directly to the plotter device rather than to the standard output.  The optional argument causes a previously scan-converted file raster to be sent to the plotter. 

lvp16DEC LVP16 Graphics Plotter. 

hp7475aHP 7475A Graphics Plotter. 

rasterIs a scan-converted temporary file that is sent directly to the plotter.  The raster file is only specified with the -Tver option. 

If terminal is either an lvp16 or a hp7475a, you can specify the following options.  These options must follow the −Tterminal option:

−l#length of paper window in plotter units (unit scale)

−w#width of paper window in plotter units (unit scale)

−c#initial pen carousel to be used

RESTRICTIONS

A lockout protection does not exist for /usr/tmp/raster.
