7. - Drawing the Plot
This chapter includes explanations of the commands for drawing plots:
- on the pen plotter
- on graphics-filter devices
Chapter 8 describes how to initialize the pen plotter, while Chapter 9 shows how to initialize filters for the other graphics devices. The pen-plotter versions of drawing commands described below begin with a
p; the graphics filter versions begin with a
z. In both cases, many of the commands can be grouped together by following
the initial
p or
z with the appropriate letters.
For example,
palt will draw axes, labels and the title on a pen plotter.
