DESCRIPTION
       These functions generate graphics output for a set of  output  devices.
       The format of the output is dependent upon which	 link editor option is
       used when the program is compiled and  linked (see  Link Editor).

       The term "current point" refers to the current setting for the x and  y
       coordinates.

       The  arc()  function specifies a circular arc. The coordinates (x0, y0)
       specify the center of the arc. The coordinates  (x1,  y1)  specify  the
       starting	 point	of  the	 arc. The coordinates (x2, y2) specify the end
       point of the circular arc.

       The box() function specifies a rectangle with  coordinates   (x0,  y0),
       (x0,  y1),  (x1,	 y0),  and (x1, y1). The current point is set to  (x1,
       y1).

       The circle() function specifies a circle with a center at  the  coordi‐
       nates (x, y) and a radius of r.

       The closevt() and closepl() functions flush the output.

       The cont() function specifies a line beginning at the current point and
       ending at the coordinates (x, y). The current point is set to  (x, y).

       The erase() function starts another frame of output.

       The label() function places the null terminated string s	 so  that  the
       first character falls on the current point.  The	 string is then termi‐
       nated by a  NEWLINE character.

       The line() function draws a line starting at the coordinates  (x0,  y0)
       and  ending  at	the  coordinates (x1, y1). The current point is set to
       (x1, y1).

       The linemod() function specifies the style for drawing future lines.  s
       may  contain  one  of  the following: dotted, solid, longdashed, short‐
       dashed, or dotdashed.

       The move() function sets the current point to the coordinates (x, y).

       The openpl() or openvt() function must be called	 to  open  the	device
       before any other plot functions are called.

       The  point()  function plots the point given by the coordinates (x, y).
       The current point is set to  (x, y).

       The space() function specifies the size of the plotting area.  The plot
       will be reduced or enlarged as necessary to fit the area specified. The
       coordinates (x0, y0) specify the lower left hand corner of the plotting
       area.  The  coordinates (x1, y1) specify the upper right hand corner of
       the plotting area.

   Link Editor
       Various flavors of these functions exist for different output  devices.
       They are obtained by using the following	 ld(1) options:

       -lplot	       device-independent  graphics  stream on standard output
		       in the format described in  plot(4B)

       -l300	       GSI 300 terminal

       -l300s	       GSI 300S terminal

       -l4014	       Tektronix 4014 terminal

       -l450	       GSI 450 terminal

       -lvt0
