#### `plinit`: Initialize PLplot

`plinit (` | `)`;

Initializing the plotting package. The program prompts for the device keyword or number of the desired output device. Hitting a RETURN in response to the prompt is the same as selecting the first device. `plinit` will issue no prompt if either the device was specified previously (via command line flag, the `plsetopt` function, or the `plsdev` function), or if only one device is enabled when PLplot is installed. If subpages have been specified, the output device is divided into `nx` by `ny` subpages, each of which may be used independently. If `plinit` is called again during a program, the previously opened file will be closed. The subroutine `pladv` is used to advance from one subpage to the next.

Redacted form: `plinit()`

This function is used in all of the examples.
