NAME
graphics - Accesses graphical and numerical commands
SYNOPSIS
graphics [r]
DESCRIPTION
The graphics command accesses graphical and numerical commands. The
command prefixes the pathname /usr/bin/graf to the current $PATH value,
changes the primary shell prompt to ^, and executes a new shell. The
directory /usr/bin/graf contains all of the Graphics subsystem commands.
If the -r flag is given, access to the graphical commands is created in a
restricted environment; that is, $PATH is set to
:/usr/bin/graf:/rbin:/usr/rbin:/bin:/usr/bin
and the restricted shell, rsh, is invoked. To restore the environment
that existed prior to issuing the graphics command, type EOT (the <Ctrl-D>
sequence on most terminals). To exit from the graphics environment, type
quit.
The command line format for a command in graphics is command name followed
by argument(s). An argument may be a filename or an option string. A
filename is the name of any UNIX system file except those beginning with
-. The filename - is the name for stdin. An option string consists of -
followed by one or more option(s). An option consists of a flag possibly
followed by a value. Options may be separated by commas.
The graphical commands have been partitioned into four groups:
⊕ Commands that manipulate and plot numerical data; see stat.
⊕ Commands that generate tables of contents; see toc.
⊕ Commands that interact with graphical devices; see gdev and ged.
⊕ A collection of graphical utility commands; see gutil.
A list of the graphics commands can be generated by typing whatis in the
graphics environment.
