NAME¶
plinit - Initialize PLplot
SYNOPSIS¶
plinit()
DESCRIPTION¶
Initializing the plotting package. The program prompts for the device keyword or
number of the desired output device. Hitting a RETURN in response to the
prompt is the same as selecting the first device.
plinit(3plplot) will
issue no prompt if either the device was specified previously (via command
line flag, the
plsetopt(3plplot) function, or the
plsdev(3plplot) function), or if only one device is enabled when PLplot
is installed. If subpages have been specified, the output device is divided
into nx by ny subpages, each of which may be used independently. If
plinit(3plplot) is called again during a program, the previously opened
file will be closed. The subroutine
pladv(3plplot) is used to advance
from one subpage to the next.
Redacted form:
plinit()
This function is used in all of the examples.
