that is exactly what i was afraid of :-(
we have a VERY UGLY dichotomy in graphic languages, as i noticed earlier on the list
would love to have a single scheme of rendering text, maths, vector graphics, bitmap graphics... etc. --> on any device
thus would prefer grap | pic | troff line, if there were not for map | graph | plot...
sigh
yes, and if there were an elegant option to include bitmaps within the troff pipeline
just an eternal newbie's opinion
sigh, sigh
any reaction?
++pac.

You probably really want to use `grap | pic | troff -ms' rather than
`graph | plot'. I think the plot back-end for troff has gone away.

This is from plot(6) manpage:
o string Open plotting device. For troff, string specifies the size of the plot (default is 6i).
cl Close plotting device.
How can I use plot(6) commands with troff?
Sorry, if dull Q.
++pac.
