## DESCRIPTION

This page contains notes regarding ploticus' use as an interactive data display tool under X11.``

## X11 DISPLAYS

Ploticus will draw in an X11 window if the `-x11` command line option is used.`` This is mostly intended for preview during development of data displays.`` The `-pagesize` command line option (or the `pagesize` attribute of proc page may be used to control the size of the window, and the `-winloc` command line option may be used to control the location of the upper-left corner of the window. Not supported are the standard X resources scheme and the standard X command line arguments such as `-geometry`.``

## USING VIEWERS SUCH AS GHOSTVIEW OR XV

If you have a Postscript viewer such as GhostView you can automatically invoke the viewer to display PostScript results using the `-viewer` command line option. Likewise, `-viewer` may be used to automatically invoke an image viewing tool such as XV.``
