.SH NAME

|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B graph
|
|
[
|
|
.I option ...
|
|
]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Graph
|
|
with no options takes pairs of numbers from the
|
|
standard input as abscissas
|
|
.RI ( x -values)
|
|
and ordinates
|
|
.RI ( y -values)
|
|
of a graph.
|
|
Successive points are connected by straight lines.
|
|
The graph is encoded on the standard output
|
|
for display by
|
|
.IR plot (1)
|
|
filters.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If an ordinate is followed by
|
|
a nonnumeric string, that string is printed as a
|
|
label beginning on the point.
|
|
Labels may be surrounded with quotes
|
|
.L
|
|
" "
|
|
in which case they may be empty or contain blanks
|
|
and numbers;
|
|
labels never contain newlines.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following options are recognized,
|
|
each as a separate argument.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -a
|
|
Supply abscissas automatically; no
|
|
.IR x -values
|
|
appear in the input.
|
|
Spacing is given by the next
|
|
argument (default 1).
|
|
A second optional argument is the starting point for
|
|
automatic abscissas (default 0, or 1
|
|
with a log scale in
|
|
.IR x ,
|
|
or the lower limit given by
|
|
.BR -x ).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -b
|
|
Break (disconnect) the graph after each label in the input.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -c
|
|
Character string given by next argument
|
|
is default label for each point.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -g
|
|
Next argument is grid style,
|
|
0 no grid, 1 frame with ticks, 2 full grid (default).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -l
|
|
Next argument is a legend to title the graph.
|
|
Grid ranges
|
|
are automatically printed as part
|
|
of the title unless a
|
|
.B -s
|
|
option is present.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -m
|
|
Next argument is mode (style)
|
|
of connecting lines:
|
|
0 disconnected, 1 connected.
|
|
Some devices give distinguishable line styles
|
|
for other small integers.
|
|
Mode \-1 (default) begins with style 1 and
|
|
rotates styles for successive curves under option
|
|
.BR -o .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -o
|
|
(Overlay.)
|
|
The ordinates for
|
|
.I n
|
|
superposed curves appear in the input
|
|
with each abscissa value.
|
|
The next argument is
|
|
.IR n .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -p
|
|
Next argument is one or more of the characters
|
|
.B bcgkmrwy,
|
|
choosing pen colors by their initial letter, as in
|
|
.MR plot (7) .
|
|
Successive curves will cycle through the colors in the given order.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -s
|
|
Save screen; no new page for this graph.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -x l
|
|
If
|
|
.B l
|
|
is present,
|
|
.IR x -axis
|
|
is logarithmic.
|
|
Next 1 (or 2) arguments are lower (and upper)
|
|
.I x
|
|
limits.
|
|
Third argument, if present, is grid spacing on
|
|
.I x
|
|
axis.
|
|
Normally these quantities are determined automatically.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -y l
|
|
Similarly for
|
|
.IR y .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -e
|
|
Make automatically determined
|
|
.I x
|
|
and
|
|
.I y
|
|
scales equal.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -h
|
|
Next argument is fraction of space for height.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -w
|
|
Similarly for width.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -r
|
|
Next argument is fraction of space to move right before plotting.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -u
|
|
Similarly to move up before plotting.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -t
|
|
Transpose horizontal and vertical axes.
|
|
(Option
|
|
.B -a
|
|
now applies to the vertical axis.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a specified lower limit exceeds the upper limit,
|
|
the axis
|
|
is reversed.

.SH BUGS
|
|
Segments that run out of bounds are dropped, not windowed.
|
|
Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.
|
|
Option
|
|
.B -e
|
|
actually makes automatic limits, rather than automatic scaling,
|
|
equal.
