AEDPLOT(1) General Commands Manual AEDPLOT(1)

aedplot - plot on AED512 display

aedplot [ -g display ] [ file ]

Aedplot reads a set of plotting commands and outputs a command sequence that will generate a picture on an AED512 color graphics display. The input to aedplot consists of a sequence of plotting commands in the standard format described in plot(5). The output consists of an equivalent set of commands to the AED display. If file is specified, then input is taken from it. Otherwise the plotting commands are read from the standard input. If the -g switch is specified, then display is the name of the file (generally the name of the special file for a serial line connecting to a graphics display) to which output is written. If the -g switch is not specified, then aedplot checks to see if there is an AED display associated with the terminal from which the program is being run. If so, that display is used.

Arcs are not drawn correctly. At present, arc commands result in the generation of a straight line segment between the end points of the arc. Large circles are not drawn at all; this is a problem with the AED display microcode.
