NAME

       plscompression - Set device-compression level

SYNOPSIS

       plscompression(compression)

DESCRIPTION

       Set  device-compression level.  Only used for drivers that provide compression.	This function, if used, should be invoked before a call to
       plinit(3plplot).

       Redacted form: plscompression(compression)

       This function is used in example 31.

ARGUMENTS

       compression (PLINT, input)
	      The desired compression level. This is a device-dependent value. Currently only the jpeg and png devices use these values. For  jpeg
	      value  is  the  jpeg  quality which should normally be in the range 0-95. Higher values denote higher quality and hence larger image
	      sizes. For png values are in the range -1 to 99. Values of 0-9 are taken as the  compression level for zlib. A value of  -1  denotes
	      the  default  zlib   compression	level.	Values	in the range 10-99 are divided by 10 and  then used as the zlib compression level.
	      Higher compression levels correspond to greater compression and small file sizes at the expense of more computation.
