.SH NAME
psplot \- convert plot(5) files to P\s-2OST\s+2S\s-2CRIPT\s+2 format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B psplot
[
.BI \-g prologue
] [
.I files
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I psplot
reads
.I files
in
.IR plot (5)
format and converts them to \*(PS format on the 
standard output.  If no
.I files
are specified, the standard input is used.
The conversion is almost one-for-one, with one \*(PS function call for each
.I plot 
primitive.  The behavior of the generated file can be modified by 
changing the definitions of the \*(PS functions in the prologue.
If no 
.B \-g 
option is specified, the default prologue is used.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
PSLIBDIR
path name of a directory to use instead of /usr/misc/lib/ps
for psplot prologue file.
.SH FILES
.TP 2.2i
/usr/misc/lib/ps/psplot.pro
