<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
This page contains notes regarding ploticus' use as an 
interactive data display tool under X11.<tt> </tt>

<br><br><br>
<h2>X11 DISPLAYS</h2>
<p>
<b>Ploticus</b> 
will draw in an X11 window if the <tt>-x11</tt> command line option is used.<tt> </tt>
This is mostly intended for preview during development of data displays.<tt> </tt>
The <tt>-pagesize</tt> command line option (or the <tt>pagesize</tt> attribute
of <b>proc page</b> may be used to control the size of the window, and
the <tt>-winloc</tt> command line option may be used to control the location
of the upper-left corner of the window.  Not supported are the standard X 
resources scheme and the standard X command line arguments such as <tt>-geometry</tt>.<tt> </tt>

<br><br><br>
<h2>USING VIEWERS SUCH AS GHOSTVIEW OR XV</h2>
<p>
If you have a Postscript viewer such as GhostView you can automatically invoke
the viewer to display PostScript results using the <tt>-viewer</tt> command line
option.  Likewise, <tt>-viewer</tt> may be used to automatically invoke an
image viewing tool such as XV.<tt> </tt>

<br><br><br>
