plot - graphics filters
Syntax
plot [-Tterminal[raster]] [-l#] [-w#] [-c#]
Description
The command reads plotting instructions from the standard input and produces plotting instructions for a specified terminal on the standard
output. For further information see
Options
The following options are available with the command.
-Tterminal Uses the specified terminal name as the terminal type for which plotting instructions are to be generated. If a terminal
type is not specified, the environment parameter $TERM is used. For more information, see The terminal type can be one of
the following:
450 DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (diablo mechanism).
300 DASI 300 or GSI terminal (diablo mechanism).
300S DASI 300S terminal (diablo mechanism).
4014 or tek
Tektronix 4014 or 4015 with Enhanced Graphics Module. (Use 4013 for Tektronix 4014 or Tektronix 4015 without the
Enhanced Graphics Module).
4013 Tektronix 4013 Storage scope
aed AED 512 color graphics terminal
bitgraph or bg
BBN bitgraph graphics terminal
crt Any crt capable of running
dumb dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers
grn given a plot file, produces a grn file.
hp7221 Hewlett Packard 7221 Graphics terminal.
hp2648 Hewlett Packard 2648 Graphics terminal.
imagen or ip
Imagen laser printer (default 240 DPI resolution).
lvp16 DEC LVP16 Graphics Plotter.
hp7475a HP 7475A Graphics Plotter.
ver Versatec D1200A printer-plotter. This version of places a scan-converted image in and sends the result directly to
the plotter device rather than to the standard output. The optional argument causes a previously scan-converted
file raster to be sent to the plotter.
var Benson Varian printer-plotter.
vt125 DEC vt125 terminal.
raster Is a scan-converted temporary file that is sent directly to the plotter. The raster file is only specified with the -Tver
option.
If terminal is either an lvp16 or a hp7475a, you can specify the following options. These options must follow the -Tterminal option:
-l# length of paper window in plotter units (unit scale)
-w# width of paper window in plotter units (unit scale)
-c# initial pen carousel to be used

SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/plot [-Tterminal]
DESCRIPTION
The plot utility reads plotting instructions (see plot(4B)) from the standard input and produces plotting instructions suitable for a par-
ticular terminal on the standard output.
If no terminal is specified, the environment variable TERM is used. The default terminal is tek.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Except for ver, the following terminal-types can be used with `lpr -g' (see lpr(1B)) to produce plotted output:
2648 | 2648a | h8 | hp2648 | hp2648a
Hewlett Packard 2648 graphics terminal.
hp7221 | hp7 | h7 |
Hewlett Packard 7221 plotter.
300
DASI 300 or GSI terminal (Diablo mechanism).
300s | 300S
DASI 300s terminal (Diablo mechanism).
450
DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism).
4013
Tektronix 4013 storage scope.
4014 | tek
Tektronix 4014 and 4015 storage scope with Enhanced Graphics Module. (Use 4013 for Tektronix 4014 or 4015 without the Enhanced Graphics
Module).
aed
AED 512 color graphics terminal.
bgplot | bitgraph
BBN bitgraph graphics terminal.
crt
Any crt terminal capable of running vi(1).
