NAME

psplot − convert plot(5) files to POSTSCRIPT format

SYNOPSIS

psplot [ −gprologue ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

psplot reads files in plot(5) format and converts them to POSTSCRIPT format on the standard output.  If no files are specified, the standard input is used.  The conversion is almost one-for-one, with one POSTSCRIPT function call for each plot primitive.  The behavior of the generated file can be modified by changing the definitions of the POSTSCRIPT functions in the prologue.  If no −g option is specified, the default prologue is used. 

ENVIRONMENT

PSLIBDIR path name of a directory to use instead of /usr/lib/transcript for psplot prologue file. 

FILES

/usr/lib/transcript/psplot.pro
default prologue file.

SEE ALSO

transcript(1), ps4014(1). 
4.2bsd: graph(1), plot(1), plot(3), plot(5), lpr(1).
System V: lp(1).
