PLSTAR(3)                   PLplot API                  PLSTAR(3)


NAME
       plstar - Initialization

SYNOPSIS
       plstar(nx, ny)

DESCRIPTION
       Initializing  the plotting package.  The program prompts for the device
       keyword or number of the desired output device.  Hitting  a  RETURN  in
       response  to  the prompt is the same as selecting the first device.  If
       only one device is enabled when PLplot  is  installed,  plstar(3)  will
       issue  no prompt.  The output device is divided into nx by ny subpages,
       each of which may be used independently.  The  subroutine  pladv(3)  is
       used to advance from one subpage to the next.

       Redacted form: plstar(nx, ny)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS
       nx (PLINT, input)
              Number  of  subpages  to  divide  output  page in the horizontal
              direction.

       ny (PLINT, input)
              Number of subpages to divide output page in the vertical  direc-
              tion.
