plstart: Initialization 

DESCRIPTION:

	Alternative to plstar for initializing the plotting package.  The
	device name keyword for the desired output device must be supplied as
	an argument.  The device keywords are the same as those printed out by
	plstar.  If the requested device is not available, or if the input
	string is empty or begins with ``?'', the prompted startup of plstar
	is used.  This routine also divides the output device into nx by ny
	sub-pages, each of which may be used independently.  The subroutine
	pladv is used to advance from one subpage to the next. 

SYNOPSIS:

plstart(device, nx, ny)

ARGUMENTS:

    device (const char *, input) :      Device name (keyword) of the
        required output device.  If NULL or if the first character is a
        ``?'', the normal (prompted) startup is used. 

    nx (PLINT, input) :    Number of subpages to divide output page in the
        horizontal direction. 

    ny (PLINT, input) :    Number of subpages to divide output page in the
        vertical direction.
