PLINIT(3plplot) 						    PLplot API							   PLINIT(3plplot)

NAME
       plinit - Initialize PLplot

SYNOPSIS
       plinit()

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.  plinit(3plplot) will issue no prompt if either the device was  specified
       previously  (via command line flag, the plsetopt(3plplot) function, or the plsdev(3plplot) function), or if only one device is enabled when
       PLplot is installed.  If subpages have been specified, the output device is divided into nx by ny subpages, each of which may be used inde-
       pendently.   If plinit(3plplot) is called again during a program, the previously opened file will be closed.  The subroutine pladv(3plplot)
       is used to advance from one subpage to the next.

       Redacted form: plinit()

       This function is used in all of the examples.
