NAME

6       plinit - Initialize PLplot

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 de‐
19       vice is divided into nx by ny subpages, each of which may be used inde‐
20       pendently.   If  plinit(3plplot)  is called again during a program, the
21       previously opened file will be closed.  The  subroutine  pladv(3plplot)
22       is used to advance from one subpage to the next.
