Is there any way to take a plot(6) file and output to a file? plot(1)
seems not to do that (except maybe something to do with troff?) and
nothing else appears to read them.

Something along the lines of creating a big window, plotting, and catting
n/window and trimming the border could work, but I'd rather not...

Is there a good reason that plot(1) is (semi) interactive and doesn't
just leave the display part to page(1)?

enjoy,
tristan

crop(1) -i is perfect for this.

not today, but plot has been around since v7, i
believe.
