NAME

plot — graphics filters

SYNOPSIS

plot [-T terminal] [-r resolution]

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 no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see environ(7)) is used. Known terminals are:
-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 -\&ip
Imagen laser printer (default 240 dots-per-inch resolution).
-crt
Any crt terminal capable of running vi(1/1).
-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.
-var
Benson Varian printer-plotter.

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

ENVIRONMENT

TERM
Used to determine the terminal type if not given as an argument.
