PLOT(1G)

NAME
plot - graphics filters

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

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).

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) to send the result directly to the plotter device rather than to the standard output.

To aid the debugging of plotting programs and to allow plot files to be adjusted before being plotted, two filter programs exist. The first, plottoa , converts a plot file to a text representation, while the second, atoplot , takes the format produced by plottoa and converts it to a plot file.
