PLOT

## Name

plot — Creates a UNIX plot of the current MGED display.

## Synopsis

`plot` [-float] [-zclip] [-2d] [-grid] [`output_file`] [`filter`]

## DESCRIPTION

Creates a UNIX plot of the current MGED display. If an output_file is specified, the plot is stored in that file. If a filter is specified, the output is sent to that filter. The `-float` option requests a plot file with real numbers rather than integers. The `-zclip` option requests that the plot be clipped to the viewing cube in the Z-direction. The `-2d` option requests a two-dimensional plot (the default is 3D). The `-grid` option is intended to include a grid in the plot, but is currently not implemented. This command does not use the dm-plot display manager. The pl command performs the same function, but does use the dm-plot display manager.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the plot command to create a UNIX plot of the current MGED display and pipe the results to the specified command.

Example 1. Create a UNIX plot of the current MGED display and send the results to a specified command.

`mged>` plot -float | pldebug
