NAME

     xplots - calplot filter for X-windows

SYNOPSIS

     xplots [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The xplots program brings up a window  for  viewing  calplot
     (vaplot)  output,  for example from the vaplot program.  The
     program will works interactively also, continuing to  accept
     input  from  stdin and plotting as it goes, until it reaches
     an end of file, at which point it waits around for  a  mouse
     button press to kill the window.

OPTIONS

     xplots accepts all of the standard X  toolkit  command  line
     options,  and  the initial geometry specification determines
     the resolution, with a default geometry of 500x500 pixels.

     The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments  may
     be used with xplots:

     -bg color
             This option specifies the color to use for the back-
             ground of the window. The default is white.

     -bd color
             This option specifies  the  color  to  use  for  the
             border of the window.  The default is black.

     -bw number
             This option specifies the width  in  pixels  of  the
             border surrounding the window.

     -fg color
             This option specifies the color to use for  display-
             ing text.  The default is black.

     -fn font
             This option  specifies  the  font  to  be  used  for
             displaying normal text.  The default is 6x10.

     -rv     This option indicates that reverse video  should  be
             simulated  by swapping the foreground and background
             colors.

     -geometry geometry
             This option specifies the prefered size and position
             of the clock window.

     -display host:display
             This option specifies the X server to contact.

     -xrm resourcestring
             This option specifies a resource string to be used.

X DEFAULTS

     This program uses the Label widget in  the  X  Toolkit.   It
     understands  all  of  the core resource names and classes as
     well as:

     width (class Width)
             Specifies the width of the clock.  The  default  for
             analog clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital
             clocks is whatever is needed to hold the clock  when
             displayed in the chosen font.

     height (class Height)
             Specifies the height of the clock.  The default  for
             analog clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital
             clocks is whatever is needed to hold the clock  when
             displayed in the chosen font.

     reverseVideo (class ReverseVideo)
             Specifies that the foreground and background  colors
             should be reversed.

BUGS

     xplots works fine. No bugs at all. Right. Actually there are
     several  things  that  ought  to be changed, for example the
     reversed byte order in plot(5) format (NOT  MY  FAULT),  and
     maybe it will soon be extended to the superplot format (I'll
     have to look over that stuff carefully though), and probably
     also  to  return mouse position and anything else the locals
     feel they need.
