Code:
'/PIN (new)/r file_lines_to_insert'  => When this pattern matches lines from file_lines_to_insert in inserted.

Code:
'x' => This command helps to switch the content of pattern buffer with hold buffer. So when 1st line is read 'x' puts the 1st line to hold buffer 
       and pattern buffer takes a new-line char, after this switch what ever there is in pattern buffer is printed, that's why a new line is printed
       first in the output.
       Now 2nd line is read, 'x' puts 2nd line into hold buffer and line 1 which is already in hold buffer comes to pattern buffer and line 1 now gets printed. 
       This action repeats for all the remaining lines.

       Sets the area fill pattern.  The pattern consists of 1 or 2 sets of parallel lines with specified inclinations and spacings.  The arguments
       to this routine are the number of sets to use (1 or 2) followed by two pointers to integer arrays (of  1  or  2	elements)  specifying  the
       inclinations in tenths of a degree and the spacing in micrometers.  (also see plpsty(3plplot))

       Redacted form:  General: plpat(inc, del) Perl/PDL: plpat(nlin, inc, del)

       This function is used in example 15.

ARGUMENTS

       nlin (PLINT, input)
	      Number of sets of lines making up the pattern, either 1 or 2.

       inc (PLINT *, input)
	      Pointer to array with nlin elements. Specifies the line inclination in tenths of a degree.  (Should be between -900 and 900).

       del (PLINT *, input)
	      Pointer to array with nlin elements. Specifies the spacing in micrometers between the lines making up the pattern.
