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
              direction.
