GRAPHICS(1G)                         SysV                         GRAPHICS(1G)



NAME
     graphics - access graphic and numeric commands

SYNOPSIS
     graphics [ -r ]

DESCRIPTION
     graphics prefixes the path name /usr/bin/graf to the current $PATH value,
     changes the primary shell and executes a new shell.  The directory
     /usr/bin/graf contains all of the graphics subsystem commands.

     The format for a graphics command is command name argument(s). An
     argument can be a file name or an option string. A file name is the name
     of any UNIX system file except those beginning with -.  The file name -
     is the name for the standard input.  An option string consists of -
     followed by one or more option(s).  An option consists of a keyletter
     possibly followed by a value.  Options may be separated by commas.

     The graphic commands consist of:

     ⊕  Commands that manipulate and plot numeric data (see stat(1G)).

     ⊕  Commands that generate tables of contents (see toc(1G)).

     ⊕  Commands that interact with graphic devices (see gdev(1G)) and
        ged(1G)).

     ⊕  A collection of graphic utility commands (see gutil(1G))).

     You can generate a list of the graphics commands by typing whatis in the
     graphics environment.

OPTION
     -r        Creates a restricted environment for access to the graphical
               commands.  That is, $PATH is set to:

                    :/usr/bin/graf:/rbin:/usr/rbin:/bin:/usr/bin

               and the restricted shell, rsh, is invoked.  To restore the
               environment that existed prior to issuing the graphics command,
               type EOT (CTRL/d on most terminals).  To logoff from the
               graphics environment, type quit.
