## Chapter 5. The PLplot Display Driver Family

Drivers that provide screen displays are described in this chapter. Each of the drivers has a list of options, and these may be set as outlined in the section called “Command Line Arguments”.

## The Xwin Driver (X-Windows)

The Xwin driver draws plots in an X-window. Although some of the newer features are not supported, it remains the reference driver for PLplot.

Plots are displayed one page at a time. The pager is advanced by pressing the Enter key, and may only be advanced in the forward direction.

Anti-aliasing is not supported, and the Xwin driver is not unicode-enabled.

The available driver options are:

- sync: Synchronized X server operation (0|1)

- nobuffered: Sets unbuffered operation (0|1)

- noinitcolors: Sets cmap0 allocation (0|1)

- defvis: Use the Default Visual (0|1)

- usepth: Use pthreads (0|1)
