plstart(3plplot) [debian man page]

PLSTART(3plplot)						    PLplot API							  PLSTART(3plplot)

NAME

       plstart - Initialization

SYNOPSIS

       plstart(device, nx, ny)

DESCRIPTION

       Alternative  to	plstar(3plplot) for initializing the plotting package.	The device name keyword for the desired output device must be sup-
       plied as an argument.  The device keywords are the same as those printed out by plstar(3plplot).  If the requested device is not available,
       or  if the input string is empty or begins with ``?'', the prompted startup of plstar(3plplot) is used.	This routine also divides the out-
       put device into nx by ny subpages, each of which may be used independently.  The subroutine pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from one sub-
       page to the next.

       Redacted form:  General: plstart(device, nx, ny) Perl/PDL: plstart(nx, ny, device)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       device (const char *, input)
	      Device name (keyword) of the required output device.  If NULL or if the first character is a ``?'', the normal (prompted) startup is
	      used.

       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.

PLSYAX(3plplot) 						    PLplot API							   PLSYAX(3plplot)

NAME

       plsyax - Set y axis parameters

SYNOPSIS

       plsyax(digmax, digits)

DESCRIPTION

       Identical to plsxax(3plplot), except that arguments are flags for y axis. See the description of plsxax(3plplot) for more detail.

       Redacted form: plsyax(digmax, digits)

       This function is used in examples 1,14,31.

ARGUMENTS

       digmax (PLINT, input)
	      Variable	to  set  the  maximum number of digits for the y axis.	If nonzero, the printed label will be switched to a floating point
	      representation when the number of digits exceeds digmax.

       digits (PLINT, input)
	      Field digits value.  Currently, changing its value here has no effect since it is set only  by  plbox(3plplot)  or  plbox3(3plplot).
	      However, the user may obtain its value after a call to either of these functions by calling plgyax(3plplot).
