PLSERVER(1)

💖 PLSERVER — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading PLSERVER(1) from the General Commands Manual together and it's gonna be iconic, I promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

plserver — the PLplot graphics server 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

plserver [args]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. [args] and off you go 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents plserver briefly — like, briefly briefly, it's giving "the doc team had one (1) paragraph and a dream" 😭

plserver is literally just a front-end to the pltkMain() function. that's its whole job. it's structured along the preferred lines for extended wish'es — yes, wish'es, with the apostrophe, the manpage said what it said and I respect it 🎀

the way it usually lives its life: it typically runs as a child process from the PLplot TK driver, and its whole purpose is to render output. main character energy but make it a subprocess 💖

for communication it can use either TK send or Tcl-DP RPC, depending on how it is invoked. so like, it picks its communication style based on how you showed up. respect honestly 🌈

⚠️ also important: plserver can be used the same way as wish or dpwish, because it contains the functionality of each of these — except the -notk Tcl-DP command-line option is not supported. so everything they can do, it can do, minus that one specific flag. know your limits, queen 👑
