NAME¶
plstart - Initialization
SYNOPSIS¶
plstart(
device,
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. The device 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 startup of
plstar(3plplot) is used. This routine also divides the output device
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(device, nx, ny) Perl/PDL:
plstart(nx,
ny, device)
This function is not used in any examples.
ARGUMENTS¶
- device (const char *, input)
- Device name (keyword) of the required output device. If
NULL or if the first character is a ``?'', the normal (prompted) startup
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.
