NAME

	plot – graphics filter

SYNOPSIS

	plot [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Plot interprets plotting instructions (see plot(6)) from the files or standard input, drawing the results in a newly created rio(1) window. Plot persists until a newline is typed in the window. Various options may be interspersed with the file arguments; they take effect at the given point in processing. Options are: –d        Double buffer: accumulate the plot off–screen and write to the screen all at once when an erase command is encountered or at end of file. –e        Erase the screen. –c col     Set the foreground color (see plot(6) for color names). –f fill     Set the background color. –g grade   Set the quality factor for arcs. Higher grades give better quality. –p col     Set the pen color. –w        Pause until a newline is typed on standard input. –C        Close the current plot. –W    x0,y0,x1,y1 Specify the bounding rectangle of plot's window. By default it uses a 512x512 window in the middle of the screen.
