graph(ADM)

Syntax

Description

If the coordinates of a point are followed by a non-numeric string, that string is printed as a label beginning on the point. Labels may be surrounded with quotes (" "), in which case they may be empty or contain blanks and numbers; labels never contain newlines.

The following options are recognized, each as a separate argument:

-a

Supply abscissas automatically (they are missing from 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 lower limit given by -x).

-b

Break (disconnect) the graph after each label in the input.

-c

Character string given by next argument is default label for each point.

-g

Next argument is grid style: 0 no grid, 1 frame with ticks; 2 full grid (default).

-l

Next argument is label for graph.

-m

Next argument is mode (style) of connecting lines: 0 disconnected, 1 connected (default). Some devices give distinguishable line styles for other small integers (for example, the Tektronix 4014: 2=dotted, 3=dash-dot, 4=short-dash, 5=long-dash).

-s

Save screen, do not erase before plotting.

-x [ l ]

If l is present, x axis is logarithmic. Next 1 (or 2) arguments are lower (and upper) x limits. Third argument, if present, is grid spacing on x axis. Normally these quantities are determined automatically.

-y [ l ]

Similarly for y.

-h

Next argument is fraction of space for height.

-w

Similarly for width.

-r

Next argument is fraction of space to move right before plotting.

-u

Similarly to move up before plotting.

-t

Transpose horizontal and vertical axes. (Option -x now applies to the vertical axis.) A legend indicating grid range is produced with a grid unless the -s option is present. If a specified lower limit exceeds the upper limit, the axis is reversed.

Limitations

Segments that run out of bounds are dropped, not windowed.

Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.
