PLOT(1G)                             BSD                              PLOT(1G)



NAME
     plot - graphics filters

SYNOPSIS
     plot [ -Tterminal ] [ -rresolution ] [ file... ]

DESCRIPTION
     These commands read plotting instructions (see plot(5)) from the standard
     input or the specified files, and in general produce plotting
     instructions suitable for a particular terminal on the standard output.
     The -r flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution
     (currently only the IMAGEN* laser printer understands this option).

     If run from a Display Manager window, a new window is created to display
     the plot.

     If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see
     environ(7)) is used.  Known terminals include:

     4013        Tektronix* 4013 storage scope.

     4014 or tek Tektronix 4014 or 4015 storage scope with Enhanced Graphics
                 Module.  (Use 4013 for Tektronix 4014 or 4015 without the
                 Enhanced Graphics Module).

     450         DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism).

     300         DASI 300 or GSI terminal (Diablo mechanism).

     300S        DASI 300S terminal (Diablo mechanism).

     aed         AED 512 color graphics terminal.

     bitgraph or bg
                 BBN bitgraph graphics terminal.

     imagen or ipIMAGEN laser printer (default 240 dots-per-inch resolution).

     crt         Any CRT terminal capable of running vi(1).

     dumb        Dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers.

     vt125       DEC* vt125 terminal.

     hp2648 or hp or hp8
                 Hewlett Packard 2648 graphics terminal.

     ver         Versatec* D1200A printer-plotter (not supported in BSD).

     var         Benson Varian printer-plotter.

                 These versions of plot use the -g option of lpr(1) to send
                 the result directly to the plotter device rather than to the
                 standard output.
