NAME

       plinit - Initialize PLplot

SYNOPSIS

       plinit()

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.
       plinit(3plplot)  will  issue  no  prompt  if either the device was specified previously (via command line
       flag, the plsetopt(3plplot) function, or the plsdev(3plplot) function), or if only one device is  enabled
       when  PLplot  is  installed.  If subpages have been specified, the output device is divided into nx by ny
       subpages, each of which may be used independently.  If plinit(3plplot) is called again during a  program,
       the  previously  opened  file  will be closed.  The subroutine pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from one
       subpage to the next.

       Redacted form: plinit()

       This function is used in all of the examples.
