pladv

PLADV(3plplot)							    PLplot API							    PLADV(3plplot)

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.
