NAME

6       plinit - Initialize PLplot
7

SYNOPSIS

9       plinit()
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Initializing  the plotting package.  The program prompts for the device
13       keyword or number of the desired output device.  Hitting  a  RETURN  in
14       response  to  the  prompt  is  the  same as selecting the first device.
15       plinit(3plplot) will issue no prompt if either the device was specified
16       previously  (via  command line flag, the plsetopt(3plplot) function, or
17       the plsdev(3plplot) function), or if only one device  is  enabled  when
18       PLplot  is  installed.   If  subpages  have  been specified, the output
19       device is divided into nx by ny subpages, each of  which  may  be  used
20       independently.   If  plinit(3plplot)  is called again during a program,
21       the  previously  opened  file   will   be   closed.    The   subroutine
22       pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from one subpage to the next.

24       Redacted form: plinit()

26       This function is used in all of the examples.
