Although it is perhaps not obvious, this program can be used to
"Capture the screen". Ie, you play with Pen options until you
get something you like, and then you can use those options with
this program to make a new vplot file that without any options
will draw the same thing.

 
Parameters
       
 
string align=
aligns plot accoording to xy:
x is one of l, r, c, u for left, right, center, unaligned
y is one of b, t, c, u for bottom, top, center, unaligned.
In all cases the given point is aligned to have coordinate zero.
 
bool background= [y/n]

 
bool big= [y/n]
if y, expand the size of the device's screen (and hence
outermost clipping window) to nearly infinity (bad for rotated
style!)
 
int bit=0
if > 0, then bit raster is used with bit the color
 
bool blast=y [y/n]
if y, don't try to compact the output. If n, compaction will
be done. Compaction does run-length encoding and compacts repeated
lines. Compaction can make the vplot file considerably smaller, but
it also takes longer to create the file.
