Alternative to <a class="link" href="plstar.html" title="plstar: Initialization"><code class="function">plstar</code></a> for initializing the plotting package. The
device name keyword for the
desired output device must be supplied as an argument. These
keywords are the same as those printed out by <a class="link" href="plstar.html" title="plstar: Initialization"><code class="function">plstar</code></a>. If the
requested device is not available, or if the input string is empty or
begins with ``?'', the prompted start up of <a class="link" href="plstar.html" title="plstar: Initialization"><code class="function">plstar</code></a> is used. This
routine also divides the output device page into
<code class="literal">
<em class="parameter"><code>nx</code></em>
</code> by
<code class="literal">
<em class="parameter"><code>ny</code></em>
</code> subpages, each of which
may be used independently. The subroutine <a class="link" href="pladv.html" title="pladv: Advance the (sub-)page"><code class="function">pladv</code></a> is used to advance
from one subpage to the next.

(<code class="literal"><a class="link" href="c.html#PLCHAR_VECTOR-type"><code class="function">PLCHAR_VECTOR</code></a></code>, input)

An ascii character string containing the
device name keyword of the required output device. If
<em class="parameter"><code>devname</code></em> is NULL or if the first character of
the string is a ``?'', the normal (prompted) start up is used.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
