22These commands read plotting instructions (see
23.Xr plot  5  )
24from the standard input or the specified
25.Ar files  ,
26and in general
27produce plotting instructions suitable for
28a particular
29.Ar terminal
30on the standard output.
31The
32.Fl r
33flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution
34(currently only the Imagen laser printer understands this option).
