.SH DESCRIPTION |
17 |
.I Dgraph |
18 |
reads each graph |
19 |
.I file |
20 |
in sequence and converts it to a character plot |
21 |
displayable on any ascii device. |
22 |
If no files are given, the standard input is read. |
23 |
.PP |
24 |
Across the top of the plot, the extrema are printed. |
25 |
This is the only indication of the axis size. |
26 |
Curves are represented with their respective letter ('A' for |
27 |
curve A, etc.) at each point. |
28 |
Where two or more curves cross, a number is shown instead. |

The size of the output array can be specified as a |
31 |
certain |
32 |
.I width |
33 |
and |
34 |
.I length. |
35 |
The default size is 79 by 22. |
