       void pl_closevt(void);

DESCRIPTION
       These  subroutines generate graphic output in a relatively device-inde-
       pendent manner.	 See  plot(5)  for  a  description  of	their  effect.
       pl_openpl()  or	pl_openvt()  must  be used before any of the others to
       open the	device for writing.  pl_closepl() and pl_closevt() flushes the
       output, but pl_closevt()	is often used when error occurs.

       String arguments	to pl_label() and  pl_linemod()	 are  null-terminated,
       and do not contain newlines.

       Various	flavors	of these functions exist for different output devices.
       They are	obtained by the	following ld(1)	options:

       -lplot device-independent  graphics  stream  on	standard  output   for
	      plot(1) filters
       -lplot4013
	      Tektronix	4013 terminal
       -lplot4014
	      Tektronix	 4014  and  4015  terminals with the Enhanced Graphics
	      Module (Use -l4013 for 4014's or	4015's	without	 the  Enhanced
	      Graphics Module)
       -lplotbg
	      BBN bitgraph graphics terminal
       -lplotdumb
	      Dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers
       -lplotgigi
	      DEC vt125	terminals
       -lplot7221
	      Hewlett Packard 7221 graphics terminal
       -lplotcrt
	      Any crt terminal capable of running vi.
       -lplotimagen
	      Imagen laser printer (default 240	dots-per-inch resolution).

       On  many	 devices, it is	necessary to pause after pl_erase(), otherwise
       plotting	commands are lost.  The	pause is normally done by the tty dri-
       ver if at login time, tset found	a df field in the termcap(5) entry for
       the terminal.  If a pause is needed but not automatically being	gener-
       ated, add
	      flush(stdout);
	      sleep(1);
       after each pl_erase().
