The current BRL UNIX System V emulation for 4.2BSD includes PLOT(4)
filters for the following, in addition to the standard devices:
	Any Tektronix 4010 emulator (uses a new utility "tekmode"
		for getting into and out of graphics mode)
	Imagen Imprint-10 via its Tektronix emulation and MDQS spooler
	Versatec D1200A via MDQS spooler (contact dpk@brl-tgr.arpa for
		information on obtaining MDQS)
	Megatek 7250 "Whizzard" color 3-D interactive display
We extended (upward-compatibly) UNIX PLOT to support color and 3-D.
Very soon there will probably be an Adage (Ikonas) RDS-3000 filter,
a "full plot definition to simple stroke subset" converter, and a 3-D
general rotation, translation, scaling, and clipping processor.

Of course UNIX System V has a whole nother graphics system (GPS-based)
as well.
