NAME

lasergnu - send gnuplot output to a printer  

SYNOPSIS

lasergnu [ flags ] plot-command...  

DESCRIPTION

lasergnu runs gnuplot(1) in an environment to produce typeset output on an IMAGEN or Postscript printer.

The gnuplot commands plot-command are performed and the output sent to the printer. If the -f option specifies a file for input, the plot command is optional. The command-line plot commands are executed prior to any in the file(s).

For example, to plot the function sin(x) from -1 to +1, and to use printer im1, use the command 

    lasergnu -Pim1 'plot [-1:1] sin(x) with lines'
To execute the gnuplot command file myplot, on the postscript printer lw0, use the command 
    lasergnu -Plw0 -p -f myplot
The following switches are recognized:
-p
Use the postscript language to make the plot, instead of Impress. This is for use on Postscript printers only. This uses a double-size plot in landscape mode as the default.
-P printer
The output of this program is intended for printer.  If the file is being spooled, this determines the printer it is spooled to (default: $LASER). Be sure to use the -p flag if the printer is a postscript printer.
-f file
Take gnuplot commands from the named file. Multiple files may be supplied with separate -f options.
-t title
Specify the title of the plot.
-b
Do not print a banner page.
-J
Do not print a banner page.
-help
Prints a list of options.
