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.
