DESCRIPTIONgraph with no options takes pairs of numbers from the standard input as
abscissaes and ordinates of a graph. Successive points are connected
by straight lines. The standard output from graph contains plotting
instructions suitable for input to plot(1B) or to the command lpr -g
(see lpr(1B)).
If the coordinates of a point are followed by a nonnumeric string, that
string is printed as a label beginning on the point. Labels may be sur‐
rounded with quotes "...", in which case they may be empty or contain
blanks and numbers; labels never contain NEWLINE characters.
A legend indicating grid range is produced with a grid unless the -s
option is present.
OPTIONS
Each option is recognized as a separate argument. If a specified lower
limit exceeds the upper limit, the axis is reversed.
-a spacing[ start ] Supply abscissaes automatically
(they are missing from the
input); spacing is the spacing
(default 1). start is the
starting point for automatic
abscissaes (default 0 or lower
limit given by -x).
-b Break (disconnect) the graph
after each label in the input.
-c string String is the default label for
each point.
-g gridstyle Gridstyle is the grid style: 0
no grid, 1 frame with ticks, 2
full grid (default).
-l label label is label for graph.
-m connectmode Mode (style) of connecting
lines: 0 disconnected, 1 con‐
nected (default). Some devices
give distinguishable line
styles for other small inte‐
gers.
-s Save screen, do not erase
before plotting.
-x [ l ] lower [ upper [ spacing ] ] If l is present, x axis is log‐
arithmic. lower and upper are
lower (and upper) x limits.
spacing, if present, is grid
spacing on x axis. Normally
these quantities are determined
automatically.
-y [ l ] lower [ upper [ spacing ] ] If l is present, y axis is log‐
arithmic. lower and upper are
lower (and upper) y limits.
spacing, if present, is grid
spacing on y axis. Normally
these quantities are determined
automatically.
-h fraction fraction of space for height.
-w fraction fraction of space for width.
-r fraction fraction of space to move right
before plotting.
-u fraction fraction of space to move up
before plotting.
-t Transpose horizontal and verti‐
cal axes. Option -x now applies
to the vertical axis.

no room.
Segments that run out of bounds are dropped, not windowed.
Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.
