That's the other way around. Gnu decided to add custom extensions to most of the standard Unix commands.
Solaris default commands are on the other hand much closer the the POSIX standard, you can even run strictly compliant alternatives should you need to in /usr/xpg|46]/bin.

Note that starting with Solaris 11, most of the Gnu commands are bundled with the OS in /usr/gnu/bin and the standard ones in /usr/bin are gradually including some of the previously Gnu only extensions.

NAME
plot - graphics filters SYNOPSIS
plot [ -Tterminal ] [ -rresolution ] [ files... ] DESCRIPTION
These commands read plotting instructions (see plot(5)) from the standard input or the specified files, and in general produce plotting instructions suitable for a particular terminal on the standard output. The -r flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution (currently only the Imagen laser printer understands this option). If no terminal type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM (see environ(7)) is used. Known terminals are: 4013 Tektronix 4013 storage scope. 4014 or tek Tektronix 4014 or 4015 storage scope with Enhanced Graphics Module. (Use 4013 for Tektronix 4014 or 4015 without the Enhanced Graphics Module). 450 DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism). 300 DASI 300 or GSI terminal (Diablo mechanism). 300S DASI 300S terminal (Diablo mechanism). aed AED 512 color graphics terminal. bitgraph or bg BBN bitgraph graphics terminal. imagen or ip Imagen laser printer (default 240 dots-per-inch resolution). crt Any crt terminal capable of running vi(1). dumb Dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers. vt125 DEC vt125 terminal. hp2648 or hp or hp8 Hewlett Packard 2648 graphics terminal. ver Versatec D1200A printer-plotter. var Benson Varian printer-plotter. These versions of plot use the -g option of lpr(1) to send the result directly to the plotter device rather than to the standard output. FILES
