DATAPLOT(1)            UNIX User's Manual             DATAPLOT(1)

NAME
     dataplot - plot paired data

SYNOPSIS
     dataplot [options]

DESCRIPTION
     _▶08◀d_▶08◀a_▶08◀t_▶08◀a_▶08◀p_▶08◀l_▶08◀o_▶08◀t makes simple plots of paired (X-Y) data for charac-
     ter terminals and printers.  _▶08◀d_▶08◀a_▶08◀t_▶08◀a_▶08◀p_▶08◀l_▶08◀o_▶08◀t reads a two column
     input from the standard input and prints to the standard
     output.

OPTIONS
     All options can be specified for the X or Y axis.  So all
     option values begin with the letter x or y and are immedi-
     ately followed by a value.  See the examples.

     -b [xy]char
          Border character.  If unspecified, a standard border is
          plotted.

     -m [xy]min
          Minimum value plotted on the axis.  If unspecified, the
          minimum data value is used.

     -M [xy]max
          Maximum value plotted on the axis.  If unspecified, the
          maximum data value is used.

     -s [xy]size
          Plot size.  If unspecified, a plot of 60 columns by 20
          rows is printed.  This is ideal for most terminal
          screens.

     -n [xy]name
          Axis names.

EXAMPLES
     Name the axes.
                    dataplot -n xHeight -n yWeight
     Change the size of the plot to 10 x 50.
                        dataplot -s x10 -s y50
     Set the plot region so that the x axis is plotted from 0 to
     100 and the y axis is plotted from -10 to 10.
                dataplot -m x0 -M x100 -m y-10 -M y10

LIMITATIONS
     For plots, the number of points is limited to some large
     number, perhaps 1000.  The maximum plot dimensions are 100 x
     100.  The minimum plot dimensions are 10 x 10.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Points outside the plotting region cause error messages.

BUGS
     _▶08◀d_▶08◀a_▶08◀t_▶08◀a_▶08◀p_▶08◀l_▶08◀o_▶08◀t is a replacement for the plotting capabilities of
     _▶08◀p_▶08◀a_▶08◀i_▶08◀r (aka _▶08◀b_▶08◀i_▶08◀p_▶08◀l_▶08◀o_▶08◀t). It's command syntax may change if an
     easier one is found.
