NAME
     graph - draw a graph

SYNOPSIS
     graph [-a spacing [start] [-b] [-c string] [-g gridstyle]
          [-l label] [-m connectmode] [-s]
          [-x [l] lower [ upper [spacing]
          [-y [l] lower [upper [spacing] [-h fraction]
          [-w fraction] [-r fraction] [-u fraction] [-t] ...


DESCRIPTION
     graph with no options takes pairs of numbers from the  stan-
     dard  input as abscissaes and ordinates of a graph.  Succes-
     sive points are connected by straight lines.   The  standard
     output  from  graph  contains plotting instructions suitable
     for input  to  plot(1B)  or  to  the  command  lpr  -g  (see
     lpr(1B)).


     If the coordinates of a point are followed by  a  nonnumeric
     string,  that  string is printed as a label beginning on the
     point. Labels may be surrounded with quotes "...", in  which
     case they may be empty or contain blanks and numbers; labels
     never contain NEWLINE characters.


     A legend indicating grid  range  is  produced  with  a  grid
     unless the -s option is present.

OPTIONS
     Each option is recognized  as  a  separate  argument.  If  a
     specified  lower  limit exceeds the upper limit, the axis is
     reversed.

     -a spacing[ start ]

         Supply abscissaes automatically (they are  missing  from
         the input); spacing is the spacing (default 1). start is
         the starting point for automatic abscissaes  (default  0
         or lower limit given by -x).


     -b

         Break (disconnect) the graph after  each  label  in  the
         input.


     -c string

         String is the default label for each point.

     -g gridstyle

         Gridstyle is the grid style: 0 no  grid,  1  frame  with
         ticks, 2 full grid (default).


     -l label

         label is label for graph.


     -m connectmode

         Mode (style) of connecting lines: 0 disconnected, 1 con-
         nected  (default).   Some  devices  give distinguishable
         line styles for other small integers.


     -s

         Save screen, do not erase before plotting.


     -x [ l ] lower [ upper [ spacing ] ]

         If l is present, x axis is logarithmic. lower and  upper
         are lower (and upper) x limits.  spacing, if present, is
         grid spacing on x axis.  Normally these  quantities  are
         determined automatically.


     -y [ l ] lower [ upper [ spacing ] ]

         If l is present, y axis is logarithmic. lower and  upper
         are lower (and upper) y limits.  spacing, if present, is
         grid spacing on y axis.  Normally these  quantities  are
         determined automatically.


     -h fraction

         fraction of space for height.


     -w fraction

         fraction of space for width.


     -r fraction

         fraction of space to move right before plotting.

     -u fraction

         fraction of space to move up before plotting.


     -t

         Transpose horizontal and vertical axes.  Option  -x  now
         applies to the vertical axis.

BUGS
     graph stores all points internally and drops those for which
     there is no room.


     Segments that run out of bounds are dropped, not windowed.


     Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.
