NAME

plot, openpl, erase, label, line, circle, arc, move, cont, point, linemod, space, closepl − graphics interface

SYNOPSIS

openpl()

erase()

label(s)
char s[];

line(x1, y1, x2, y2)

circle(x, y, r)

arc(x, y, x0, y0, x1, y1)

move(x, y)

cont(x, y)

point(x, y)

linemod(s)
char s[];

space(x0, y0, x1, y1)

closepl()

DESCRIPTION

These subroutines generate graphic output in a relatively device-independent manner.  See plot(5) for a description of their effect. Openpl must be used before any of the others to open the device for writing.  Closepl flushes the output. 

String arguments to label and linemod are null-terminated, and do not contain newlines. 

Various flavors of these functions exist for different output devices.  They are obtained by the following ld(1) options:

−lplot device-independent graphics stream on standard output for plot(1G) filters

−l300 GSI 300 terminal

−l300s GSI 300S terminal

−l450 GSI 450 terminal

−l4014 Tektronix 4014 terminal

−lplotaed
AED 512 color graphics terminal

−lplotbg
BBN bitgraph graphics terminal

−lplotdumb
Dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers

−lplotgigi
DEC Gigi terminals

−lplot2648
Hewlett Packard 2648 graphics terminal

−lplot7221
Hewlett Packard 7221 graphics terminal

−lplotimagen
Imagen laser printer (default 240 dots-per-inch resolution).
