10.3.4 Asciiplot: Plot values using old-style character plots

General Form:

          asciiplot plotargs

Produce a line printer plot of the vectors. The plot is sent to the standard output, so you can put it into a file with asciiplot args ... > file. The set options width, height, and nobreak determine the width and height of the plot, and whether there are page breaks, respectively. Note that you will have problems if you try to asciiplot something with an X-scale that isn't monotonic (i.e, something like sin(TIME) ), because asciiplot uses a simple-minded linear interpolation.
