Chapter 14 Plotting and Reporting Operations

Similar to the area_plot command, the plot_ascii function generates a plot of
an existing HP-GL ascii file created by a previous plot command.

plot_ascii

    Plots an ascii HP-GL file to the specified plotter.

         plot_ascii dev fname

    This function will cause the named ascii file specified by the fname
    argument to be plotted on the plotter device specified by dev.

         dev       Plotter device type, where:

                   1 = plotter2
         fname     Ascii input file name; if the name is a relative pathname,
