23.Sh DESCRIPTION
24These commands read plotting instructions (see
25.Xr plot 5 )
26from the standard input or the specified
27.Ar files  ,
28and in general
29produce plotting instructions suitable for
30a particular
31.Ar terminal
32on the standard output.
33The
34.Fl r
35flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution
36(currently only the Imagen laser printer understands this option).
37.Pp
38If no
39.Ar terminal
40type is specified, the environment parameter
41.Ev $TERM
42(see
43.Xr environ 7 )
44is used.
