Plot interprets plotting instructions (see plot(7))
from the files or standard input, drawing the results in a newly
created 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 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.
