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.
