### `plstar`: Initialization

`plstar` (nx, ny);

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. If only one device is enabled when PLplot is installed, `plstar` will issue no prompt. The output device is divided into ``nx`` by ``ny`` subpages, each of which may be used independently. The subroutine `pladv` is used to advance from one subpage to the next.

`nx` (`PLINT`, input) Number of subpages to divide output page in the horizontal direction. `ny` (`PLINT`, input) Number of subpages to divide output page in the vertical direction.
