DESCRIPTION
       These  functions generate graphics output for a set of output devices. The format of the output is dependent upon which	link editor option
       is used when the program is compiled and  linked (see  Link Editor).

       The term "current point" refers to the current setting for the x and y coordinates.

       The arc() function specifies a circular arc. The coordinates (x0, y0) specify the center of the arc. The coordinates (x1, y1)  specify  the
       starting point of the arc. The coordinates (x2, y2) specify the end point of the circular arc.

       The  box()  function  specifies a rectangle with coordinates  (x0, y0), (x0, y1), (x1, y0), and (x1, y1). The current point is set to  (x1,
       y1).

       The circle() function specifies a circle with a center at the coordinates (x, y) and a radius of r.

       The closevt() and closepl() functions flush the output.

       The cont() function specifies a line beginning at the current point and ending at the coordinates (x, y). The current point is set to   (x,
       y).

       The erase() function starts another frame of output.

       The  label() function places the null terminated string s so that the first character falls on the current point.  The  string is then ter-
       minated by a  NEWLINE character.

       The line() function draws a line starting at the coordinates (x0, y0) and ending at the coordinates (x1, y1). The current point is  set	to
       (x1, y1).

       The linemod() function specifies the style for drawing future lines.  s may contain one of the following: dotted, solid, longdashed, short-
       dashed, or dotdashed.

       The move() function sets the current point to the coordinates (x, y).

       The openpl() or openvt() function must be called to open the device before any other plot functions are called.

       The point() function plots the point given by the coordinates (x, y). The current point is set to  (x, y).

       The space() function specifies the size of the plotting area.  The plot will be reduced or enlarged as necessary to fit the area specified.
       The  coordinates  (x0,  y0)  specify the lower left hand corner of the plotting area. The coordinates (x1, y1) specify the upper right hand
       corner of the plotting area.

   Link Editor
       Various flavors of these functions exist for different output  devices.	They are obtained by using the following  ld(1) options:

       -lplot	 device-independent graphics stream on standard output in the format described in  plot(4B)

       -l300	 GSI 300 terminal

       -l300s	 GSI 300S terminal

       -l4014	 Tektronix 4014 terminal

       -l450	 GSI 450 terminal

       -lvt0
