PLOT(1)                                                   PLOT(1)

     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 cre-
          ated 8½(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 pro-
          cessing.  Options are:

          -d        Double buffer: accumulate the plot off-screen and
                    write to the screen all at once when an erase com-
                    mand 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 512×512 window in the middle
                    of the screen.
