graph(1G)                                               graph(1G)



NAME
     graph - draws a graph

SYNOPSIS
     graph [-a [sp] [st]] [-b] [-clabel] [-g [style]] [-h hspace]
     [-l title] [-m[mode]] [-r rspace] [-s] [-t] [-u uspace]
     [-w wspace] [-x [l] [a] [b] [c]] [-y [l] [a] [b] [c]]

ARGUMENTS
     -a [sp] [st]
          Supplies abscissas automatically (they are missing from
          the input); spacing is given by sp (default 1).  The
          option, st, is the starting point for automatic
          abscissas (default 0 or the lower limit given by the -x
          option.

     -b   Breaks (disconnects) the graph after each label in the
          input.

     -clabel
          Specifies a character string given by label which is
          the default label for each point.

     -g [style]
          Specifies a grid style. where Replace style with one of
          the following: 0=no grid, 1=frame with ticks, and
          2=full grid (default).

     -h hspace
          Specifies the fraction of the space for height.

     -l title
          Specifies the label for the graph.

     -m[mode]
          Specifies the mode (style) of connecting lines:
          0=disconnected, 1=connected (default).  Some devices
          give distinguishable line styles for other small
          integers (e.g., the Tektronix 4014: 2=dotted, 3=dash-
          dot, 4=short-dash, 5=long-dash).

     -r rspace
          Specifies the fraction of the space to move right
          before plotting.

     -s   Saves the screen, don't erase before plotting.

     -t   Transposes horizontal and vertical axes.

     -u uspace
          Specifies the fraction of the space to move up before
          plotting.

     -w wspace
          Specifies the fraction of the space for width.  (-x now
          applies to the vertical axis.)

     -x [l] [a] [b] [c]
          Specifies certain quantities for the x axis.  If l is
          present, x axis is logarithmic.  a (and b) are lower
          (and upper) x limits.  c, if present, is the grid
          spacing on the x axis.  Normally, these quantities are
          determined automatically.

     -y [l] [a] [b] [c]
          Specifies certain quantities for the x axis.  If l is
          present, x axis is logarithmic.  a (and b) are lower
          (and upper) x limits.  c, if present, is the grid
          spacing on the x axis.  Normally these quantities are
          determined automatically.

DESCRIPTION
     graph with no options takes pairs of numbers from the
     standard input as abscissas and ordinates of a graph.
     Successive points are connected by straight lines.  The
     graph is encoded on the standard output for display by the
     tplot filters.

     If the coordinates of a point are followed by a non-numeric
     string, that string is printed as a label beginning on the
     point.  Labels may be surrounded with quotes ("), in which
     case they may be empty or contain blanks and numbers; labels
     never contain newlines.

     A legend indicating grid range is produced with a grid
     unless the -s option is present.  If a specified lower limit
     exceeds the upper limit, the axis is reversed.

LIMITATIONS
     The graph command stores all points internally and drops
     those for which there isn't room.

     Segments that run out of bounds are dropped, not windowed.

     Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.

     Options and their arguments must be delimited by at least
     one space.
