       'plot' ['n'|'e'|'f'|'p'|'l'|'s'|'b'|'S'|'L']&['a'|'d'|'p'|'q'|'v'] ->
        <set> 'w'|'k'|'r'|'g'|'b'|'y'|'m'

This keyword is used to display the entities of a set. Entities already visible will be erased. The following entities are known:
Nodes n, Elements e, Faces f, Points p, Lines l, Surfaces s, Bodies b, Nurb Surfaces S and Nurb Lines L
The entites can be displayed in the following colors:
White w, Black k, Red r, Green g, Blue b, Yellow y, Magenta m
To display the entities with attributes, use the identifier in combination with a second letter. For example
plot la all
will display all lines with their names. The attribute d works only for lines,
plot ld all
will display all lines with their division and bias. This is the number of spaces between nodes which will be created on the lines if meshed and the ratio of the length of the first element to the length of the last element. The division uses the last two numbers and the bias the leading numbers. If there is more than one number in front of the division the shown bias is divided by a factor of ten (10130 means a div of 30 and a bias of 10.1). The attribute p works also only for lines. In this case the lines with its end-points are drawn:
plot lp all
This is usefull to detect the begin and end of all lines. If end-points are deleted the line is also deleted. Therefore special care with end-points is necessary.

The attribute q works only for elements. With this attribute only elements which do not pass the element-quality check are displayed:
plot eq all
The threshold for the element-quality is defined with ``Eqal''. The attribute v works only for nodes,
plot nv set1
will display the nodes in set set1 with their values. This is only meaningful in post-processing mode (see Dataset how to assign values to nodes). To plot additional entities see plus.
