     PLOT(S)                   UNIX System V                   PLOT(S)



     Name
          plot - graphics interface subroutines

     Syntax
          openpl ()

          erase ()

          label (s)
          char *s;

          line (x1, y1, x2, y2)
          int x1, y1, x2, y2;

          circle (x, y, r)
          int x, y, r;

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

          move (x, y)
          int x, y;

          cont (x, y)
          int x, y;

          point (x, y)
          int x, y;

          linemod (s)
          char *s;

          space (x0, y0, x1, y1)
          int x0, y0, x1, y1;

          closepl ()

     Description
          These subroutines generate graphic output in a relatively
          device-independent manner.  space must be used before any of
          these functions to declare the amount of space necessary
          (see plot(F)).  openpl must be used before any of the others
          to open the device for writing.  closepl flushes the output.

          circle draws a circle of radius r with center at the point
          (x, y).

          arc draws an arc of a circle with center at the point (x, y)
          between the points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1).

          String arguments to label and linemod are terminated by
          nulls and do not contain new-lines.

          See plot(F) for a description of the effect of the remaining
          functions.

          The library files listed below provide several flavors of
          these routines.

     Files
          /usr/lib/libplot.a       produces output for tplot(1G)
                                   filters

          /usr/lib/lib300.pa       for DASI 300

          /usr/lib/lib300.a        for DASI 300s

          /usr/lib/lib450.a        for DASI 450

          /usr/lib/lib4014.a       for TEKTRONIX 4014

     See Also
          plot(F), graph(ADM), stat(F), tplot(ADM).

     Warnings
          In order to compile a program containing these functions in
          file.c, it is necessary to use ``cc file.c -lplot''.

          In order to execute it, it is necessary to use ``a.out |
          tplot''.

          The above routines use <stdio.h>, which causes them to
          increase the size of programs, not otherwise using standard
          I/O more than might be expected.
