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. If
15 only one device is enabled when PLplot is installed, plstar(3plplot)
16 will issue no prompt. The output device is divided into nx by ny sub‐
17 pages, each of which may be used independently. The subroutine
18 pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from one subpage to the next.
