  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.

  EXAMPLES

    To turn on the graphics environment:
