Screen and printed plots

By default, plt makes an X11 screen plot. To make a printed plot, use the option -T lw, and pipe the output of plt to lwcat. Under Unix or Linux, lwcat uses the standard lpr print spooler to send plt's output in PostScript format to the default printer. Under MS-Windows, or using lwcat's -gv option under Unix or Linux, the PostScript output is displayed on-screen using GhostScript (GSView under MS-Windows, or gv otherwise; these programs can save the output in a file or send it to a printer).
