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.
varBenson Varian printer-plotter.
vt125DEC vt125 terminal.
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
