NAME

splot - screen plot

SYNOPSIS

splot [data_group] [x_element] [y_element]

DESCRIPTION

The splot macro produces a screen plot of the current data.

By default the plot is drawn in text mode. High resolution plots are available when using X windows, Sunview on Sun workstations and Hercules, EGA or VGA graphics on PC consoles. (Use the setplot macro to select whether a text-mode or high-resolution graphics-mode plot is drawn.)

Without arguments, data from the group given by PL_G (or group PL_G1, if the background-subtraction option is in effect) and the x and y elements given by PL_X and PL_Y are plotted. By default, these are set to group zero and elements zero and one.

The optional arguments to splot override the global values of PL_G (or PL_G1), PL_X and/or PL_Y. For example, splot 2 plots the data from group 2 using PL_X for x and PL_Y for y.

If you have selected high resolution plots, use the GTERM variable to select the type of graphics device. GTERM can be set either in the environment before starting spec or it can be assigned while running. Recognized values for GTERM include x11, sun, vga, ega and herc.
