DESCRIPTION

This page contains notes regarding ploticus' use as an interactive data display tool under X11.


X11 DISPLAYS

Ploticus will draw in an X11 window if the -x11 command line option is used. This is mostly intended for preview during development of data displays. The -pagesize command line option (or the pagesize attribute of proc page may be used to control the size of the window, and the -winloc command line option may be used to control the location of the upper-left corner of the window. Not supported are the standard X resources scheme and the standard X command line arguments such as -geometry.


USING VIEWERS SUCH AS GHOSTVIEW OR XV

If you have a Postscript viewer such as GhostView you can automatically invoke the viewer to display PostScript results using the -viewer command line option. Likewise, -viewer may be used to automatically invoke an image viewing tool such as XV.


FUNCTIONS

Some functions are available that may be useful for interactive viewing under X11.
