NAME¶
plstart - Initialization
SYNOPSIS¶
plstart(
devname,
nx,
ny)
DESCRIPTION¶
Alternative to
plstar(3plplot) for initializing the plotting package. The
device name keyword for the desired output device must be supplied as an
argument. These keywords are the same as those printed out by
plstar(3plplot). If the requested device is not available, or if the
input string is empty or begins with ``?'', the prompted start up of
plstar(3plplot) is used. This routine also divides the output device
page into
nx by
ny subpages, each of which may be used
independently. The subroutine
pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from
one subpage to the next.
Redacted form: General:
plstart(devname, nx, ny) Perl/PDL:
plstart(nx,
ny, devname)
This function is not used in any examples.
ARGUMENTS¶
- devname (const char *, input)
- Device name keyword of the required output device. If NULL or if the first
character is a ``?'', the normal (prompted) start up is used.
- nx (PLINT, input)
- Number of subpages to divide output page in the horizontal direction.
- ny (PLINT, input)
- Number of subpages to divide output page in the vertical direction.
