Documentation on device
Key: device
This keyword is used to specify the plotting device. It uses
the normal PGPLOT format of
file/type
or
device/type
Usually there exists a default file name or device name.
The part after the slash gives the plotter type. Examples of the
type are:
xs X-windows output. This window is resizeable and
persistent.
xd X-windows output. A transient window that disappears
when your task exists.
ps Postscript (landscape mode).
vps Postscript (portrait mode).
cps Colour postscript (landscape mode).
vcps Colour postscript (portrait mode).
tek Tektronix 4010 or equivalent.
xterm Xterm window (better for simple plots over
slow X links).
A `?' as device name generates a complete list of the recognized
types (which will most likely vary from system to system).
Files created for hardcopy devices must be spooled to the printer
separately. The command needed for this is site and device specific.
