unixplot: Produce Graphics on UNIX Devices
.CS
unixplot
.PP
This function produces a file of commands in a form compatible with
UNIX graphics devices.
The file, named "unixplot.out",
can be given as input to any of the UNIX device driver filters
(See `plot(1)' or `tplot(1)' in the UNIX User's Manual).
.PP
When graphic input (`identify', `rdpen') is requested, the prompt
`x,y:' appears on the users terminal, and the user should type the
(x,y) coordinate pair of the point to be input.  To terminate the
input, hit carriage return.  Graphic input is not allowed in batch
mode.
.PP
A device must be specified before any graphics functions can be used.
.EX
unixplot
plot(hstart)
q    # exit from S
tplot \-Tver <unixplot.out    # UNIX command for Versatec plotter
prtx unixplot.out | lpr   # plotting on Printronix printer
