plstar(3plplot) [debian man page]

PLSTAR(3plplot) 						    PLplot API							   PLSTAR(3plplot)

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.

NAME

       pladv - Advance the (sub-)page

SYNOPSIS

       pladv(sub)

DESCRIPTION

       Advances  to  the  next	subpage  if  sub=0, performing a page advance if there are no remaining subpages on the current page.  If subpages
       aren't being used, pladv(3plplot)(0) will always advance the page.  If sub>0, PLplot switches to the specified  subpage.   Note	that  this
       allows you to overwrite a plot on the specified subpage; if this is not what you intended, use pleop(3plplot) followed by plbop(3plplot) to
       first advance the page.	This routine is called	automatically  (with  sub=0)  by  plenv(3plplot),  but	if  plenv(3plplot)  is	not  used,
       pladv(3plplot) must be called after initializing PLplot but before defining the viewport.

       Redacted form: pladv(sub)

       This function is used in examples 1,2,4,6-12,14-18,20,21,23-27,29,31.

ARGUMENTS

       sub (PLINT, input)
	      Specifies  the  subpage  number  (starting from 1 in the top left corner and increasing along the rows) to which to advance.  Set to
	      zero to advance to the next subpage.
