DESCRIPTION
      graph with no options takes pairs of numbers from the  stan-
      dard  input as abscissaes and ordinates of a graph.  Succes-
      sive points are connected by straight lines.   The  standard
      output  from  graph  contains plotting instructions suitable
      for input  to  plot(1B)  or  to  the  command  lpr  -g  (see
      lpr(1B)).
 
      If the coordinates of a point are followed by  a  nonnumeric
      string,  that  string is printed as a label beginning on the
      point. Labels may be surrounded with quotes "...", in  which
      case they may be empty or contain blanks and numbers; labels
      never contain NEWLINE characters.
 
      A legend indicating grid  range  is  produced  with  a  grid
      unless the -s option is present.
 


OPTIONS
      Each option is recognized  as  a  separate  argument.  If  a
      specified  lower  limit exceeds the upper limit, the axis is
      reversed.
 
      -a spacing[ start ]
            Supply abscissaes automatically (they are missing from
            the  input); spacing is the spacing (default 1). start
            is  the  starting  point  for   automatic   abscissaes
            (default 0 or lower limit given by -x).
 
      -b    Break (disconnect) the graph after each label  in  the
            input.
 
      -c string
            String is the default label for each point.
 
      -g gridstyle
            Gridstyle is the grid style: 0 no grid, 1  frame  with
            ticks, 2 full grid (default).
 
      -l label
            label is label for graph.

      -m connectmode
            Mode (style) of connecting lines:  0  disconnected,  1
            connected  (default).   Some devices give distinguish-
            able line styles for other small integers.
 
      -s    Save screen, do not erase before plotting.
 
      -x [ l ] lower [ upper [ spacing ] ]
            If l is present, x  axis  is  logarithmic.  lower  and
            upper  are  lower  (and  upper) x limits.  spacing, if
            present, is grid spacing on x  axis.   Normally  these
            quantities are determined automatically.
 
      -y [ l ] lower [ upper [ spacing ] ]
            If l is present, y  axis  is  logarithmic.  lower  and
            upper  are  lower  (and  upper) y limits.  spacing, if
            present, is grid spacing on y  axis.   Normally  these
            quantities are determined automatically.
 
      -h fraction
            fraction of space for height.
 
      -w fraction
            fraction of space for width.
 
      -r fraction
            fraction of space to move right before plotting.
 
      -u fraction
            fraction of space to move up before plotting.
 
      -t    Transpose horizontal and vertical axes. Option -x  now
            applies to the vertical axis.

 BUGS
      graph stores all points internally and drops those for which
      there is no room.

      Segments that run out of bounds are dropped, not windowed.
 
      Logarithmic axes may not be reversed.
