DEVICE

            [GTVL\]DEVICE [Dev_Type [Mode]] [/OUTPUT Dev_Name]

        Without argument, DEVICE displays the current working graphic device.

        With a graphic device type as argument, directs the graphic output to it
        and sets default values for the plot region location and device physical
        limits.  The basic unit is 1 cm for hardcopies. All plots to interactive
        devices are made with some pre-computed factor to match the screen  size
        to the Plot Page size, defined by command SET PLOT_PAGE (default size is
        an A4 format page, 30 by 21).

        Use DEVICE ? to get the list of recognized graphics  devices  or  DEVICE
        type ? to get the list of modes on a given device.

        /OUTPUT Dev_Name option allows you to direct the graphic output to some-
        thing else than your own terminal (TT:). Note that some specific devices
        will  not  support  this option: this is currently the case for X-Window
        devices.
