NAME
       plmkstrm - Creates a new stream and makes it the default


SYNOPSIS
       plmkstrm(p_strm)


DESCRIPTION
       Creates  a  new  stream  and  makes  it the default.  Differs from using plsstrm(3plplot), in that a free
       stream number is found, and returned. Unfortunately, I have to start at stream 1 and work  upward,  since
       stream  0  is  preallocated.   One of the big flaws in the PLplot API is that no initial, library-opening
       call is required.  So stream 0 must be preallocated, and there is no simple way of determining whether it
       is already in use or not.

       Redacted form: plmkstrm(p_strm)

       This function is used in examples 1 and 20.


ARGUMENTS
       p_strm (PLINT_NC_SCALAR(3plplot), output)
              Returned value of the stream number of the created stream.
