I am sorry to tell you that you are out of luck with tring to get perfect
plots with the Tektronix emulators included in either Diga! or Online!
Both of them basically handle only MOVE and DRAW commands. The UNIX plot
utilities are the ones that use just MOVE and DRAW plus some text 
positioning commands.  If your plot is "simple" it might work with Diga! or
online!. It is is a little "complex" (like use graph, or any of the UNIX
System V plot utilities, gas (additive sequences), af (arith functions),
or hist) then the plot is bad almost 100% of the time.  The Tektronix 4014
emulator included in A-Talk Plus emulates ALL Tektronix 4010 and 4014 commands,
fonts (4) and interactive crosshair cursor, and supports the UNIX plots 
utilities for both 4.2BSD and ATT System V (just to name the ones you are
interested in).
