NOTE
When plotter is initialized, two scaling points, P1 and P2, are automati-
cally established in lower left and upper right corners of plot area.
These are limiting reference points used to define actual physical area
in which plot will fit.
S c a l e statement parameters set scale
for distance between scaling points
P1 and P2.
Parameter entries must
b e numeric.
Each scaling point is
assigned an X- and Y-coordinate.
