plbop(3plplot) [debian man page]

PLBOP(3plplot)							    PLplot API							    PLBOP(3plplot)

NAME

       plbop - Begin a new page

SYNOPSIS

       plbop()

DESCRIPTION

       Begins a new page.  For a file driver, the output file is opened if necessary.  Advancing the page via pleop(3plplot) and plbop(3plplot) is
       useful when a page break is desired at a particular point when plotting to subpages.  Another use for pleop(3plplot) and plbop(3plplot)	is
       when  plotting  pages  to  different  files,  since  you  can  manually	set  the  file	name by calling plsfnam(3plplot) after the call to
       pleop(3plplot). (In fact some drivers may only support a single page per file, making this a necessity.)  One way to handle this case auto-
       matically  is  to page advance via pladv(3plplot), but enable familying (see plsfam(3plplot)) with a small limit on the file size so that a
       new family member file will be created on each page break.

       Redacted form: plbop()

       This function is used in examples 2,20.

NAME

       plstar - Initialization

SYNOPSIS

       plstar(nx, ny)

DESCRIPTION

       Initializing the plotting package.  The program prompts for the device keyword or number of the desired output device.  Hitting a RETURN in
       response to the prompt is the same as selecting the first device.  If only one device is enabled when PLplot is installed,  plstar(3plplot)
       will  issue  no	prompt.   The  output  device  is divided into nx by ny subpages, each of which may be used independently.  The subroutine
       pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from one subpage to the next.

       Redacted form: plstar(nx, ny)

       This function is used in example 1.

ARGUMENTS

       nx (PLINT, input)
	      Number of subpages to divide output page in the horizontal direction.

       ny (PLINT, input)
	      Number of subpages to divide output page in the vertical direction.
