                     11: .I Graph
                     12: with no options takes pairs of numbers from the
                     13: standard input as abscissas and
                     14: ordinates of a graph.
                     15: Successive points are connected by straight lines.
                     16: The graph is encoded on the standard output
                     17: for display by the
                     18: .IR  plot (1G)

                     20: .PP
                     21: If the coordinates of a point are followed by
                     22: a nonnumeric string, that string is printed as a
                     23: label beginning on the point.
                     24: Labels may be surrounded with quotes "...", in
                     25: which case they may be empty or contain blanks
                     26: and numbers;
                     27: labels never contain newlines.
                     28: .PP
                     29: The following options are recognized,
