Opening a Graphics Window

Create a graphic output window by using the function motif() (on a UNIX machine) or win.start() (on Windows). When you enter plot commands in the normal S-PLUS window the output will appear in this new window.

The graphics window is just like any other window: it can be moved, re-sized, etc. The window contains menus with several options. The ones you will likely be most interested in are the Color Scheme option (allows you to adjust the color scheme) and the Print option. The Print option will print the contents of the window to whatever printer you are connected to or have selected (on UNIX, Print will also save the contents as a postscript file in your working directory, with a name like ps.out.0001.ps).
