You can find them in a BSD manual. plot - receives a stream of text and binary which represents the graph being plotted graph- creates a file for plot from an ascii file. The format is well described in the manuals. spline- acts as a filter between graph and plot to smooth curves. Example: create a file containing some points. graph < your-file | plot -Tdumb This command plots a graph of your points. Look at the plot in manual section 5. It tells you about the format of the plot stream. You can usually use awk to massage data to look like you want. -Goldfish goldfish@concour.cs.concordia.ca - Goldfish (Shirley Maclaine told me there would be LIFETIMES like this)
