NAME

       tc - photoypesetter simulator

SYNOPSIS

       tc [ -t ] [ -sN ] [ -pL ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

       Tc interprets its input (standard input default) as device codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat).  The standard output of tc is
       intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a 4014 terminal with ASCII and APL character sets).  The sixteen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's
       four  sizes;  the  entire TROFF character set is drawn using the 4014's character generator, using overstruck combinations where necessary.
       Typical usage:

		      troff -t file | tc

       At the end of each page tc waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page.  In this  wait  state,
       the  command  e will suppress the screen erase before the next page; sN will cause the next N pages to be skipped; and !line will send line
       to the shell.

       The command line options are:

       -t     Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a file.

       -sN    Skip the first N pages.

       -pL    Set page length to L.  L may include the scale factors p (points), i (inches), c (centimeters), and P (picas); default is picas.

       '-l w' Multiply the default aspect ratio, 1.5, of a displayed page by l/w.

BUGS

       Font distinctions are lost.
       tc's character set is limited to ASCII in just one size.
       The aspect ratio option is unbelievable.

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.
