NAME

       plstart - Initialization

SYNOPSIS

       plstart(devname, nx, ny)

DESCRIPTION

       Alternative  to  plstar(3plplot)  for initializing the plotting package.  The device name keyword for the
       desired output device must be supplied as an argument.  These keywords are the same as those printed  out
       by  plstar(3plplot).  If the requested device is not available, or if the input string is empty or begins
       with ``?'', the prompted start up of plstar(3plplot) is used.   This  routine  also  divides  the  output
       device  page  into  nx  by  ny  subpages,  each  of  which  may  be  used  independently.  The subroutine
       pladv(3plplot) is used to advance from one subpage to the next.

       Redacted form: General: plstart(devname, nx, ny)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       devname (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input)
              An ascii character string containing the device name keyword of the required  output  device.   If
              devname is NULL or if the first character of the string is a ``?'', the normal (prompted) start up
              is used.

       nx (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Number of subpages to divide output page in the x direction.

       ny (PLINT(3plplot), input)
              Number of subpages to divide output page in the y direction.
