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.
