PLOT(3X) — MISCELLANEOUS LIBRARY FUNCTIONS

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()

AVAILABILITY

These routines are available with the Graphics software installation option. Refer to Installing SunOS 4.1 for information on how to install optional software.

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 NEWLINE characters.

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).
