20.Sh DESCRIPTION
21These commands read plotting instructions (see
22.Xr plot  5  )
23from the standard input or the specified
24.Ar files  ,
25and in general
26produce plotting instructions suitable for
27a particular
28.Ar terminal
29on the standard output.
30The
31.Fl r
32flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution
33(currently only the Imagen laser printer understands this option).
