.SH SYNOPSIS
.B plot
[
.BR \-T terminal
[ raster ] ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
These commands read plotting instructions (see
.IR  plot (5))
from the standard input,
and in general
produce plotting instructions suitable for
a particular
.I terminal
on the standard output.
.PP
If no
.I terminal
type is specified, the environment parameter $TERM
(see
.IR environ (7))
is used.
Known
.I terminals
are:
.TP
.B 4014
Tektronix 4014 storage scope.
.TP
.B 450
DASI Hyterm 450 terminal (Diablo mechanism).

This version of
.I plot
places a scan-converted
image in `/usr/tmp/raster' and sends the
result directly to the plotter device rather than to
the standard output.
The optional argument causes a previously
scan-converted file
.I raster
to be sent to the plotter.
