Tplot is a plot(1) filter for output to low resolution devices such
as non-graphics terminals and the line printer.  The quality of plots
produced by tplot is necessarily limited, but will often serve for
draft or exploratory work.  It is automatically invoked by plot(1)
if no other recognized terminal is specified or if lpr is specified.
It looks at termcap(5) to determine the appropriate length and width
for the plot.  Options "-l length" and "-w width" are recognized (and
and passed by plot) to override the values from termcap.
