22.Sh DESCRIPTION
23These commands read plotting instructions (see
24.Xr plot  5  )
25from the standard input or the specified
26.Ar files  ,
27and in general
28produce plotting instructions suitable for
29a particular
30.Ar terminal
31on the standard output.
32The
33.Fl r
34flag may be used to specify the device's output resolution
35(currently only the Imagen laser printer understands this option).
