DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     GGrraapphh with no options takes pairs of numbers from the standard input as
     abscissas and ordinates of a graph.  Successive points are connected by
     straight lines.  The graph is encoded on the standard output for display
     by the plot(1) filters.

     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 sur-
     rounded with quotes "...", in which case they may be empty or contain
     blanks and numbers; labels never contain newlines.

     The following options are recognized, each as a separate argument.

     --aa     Supply abscissas automatically (they are missing from the input);
            spacing is given by the next argument (default 1).  A second op-
            tional argument is the starting point for automatic abscissas (de-
            fault 0 or lower limit given by --xx).

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

     --cc     Character string given by next argument is default label for each
            point.

     --gg     Next argument is grid style, 0 no grid, 1 frame with ticks, 2 full
            grid (default).

     --ll     Next argument is label for graph.

     --mm     Next argument is mode (style) of connecting lines: 0 disconnected,
            1 connected (default).  Some devices give distinguishable line
            styles for other small integers.

     --ss     Save screen, don't erase before plotting.

     --xx[_l]  If _l is present, x axis is logarithmic.  Next 1 (or 2) arguments
            are lower (and upper) _x limits.  Third argument, if present, is
            grid spacing on _x axis.  Normally these quantities are determined
            automatically.

     --yy[_l]  Similarly for _y.

     --hh     Next argument is fraction of space for height.

     --ww     Similarly for width.

     --rr     Next argument is fraction of space to move right before plotting.

     --uu     Similarly to move up before plotting.

     --tt     Transpose horizontal and vertical axes.  (Option --xx now applies to
            the vertical axis.)

     A legend indicating grid range is produced with a grid unless the --ss op-
     tion is present.

     If a specified lower limit exceeds the upper limit, the axis is reversed.

     The ggrraapphh command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.

BBUUGGSS
     GGrraapphh stores all points internally and drops those for which there isn't
     room.

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

     Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.
