IRDRIV

## SGI/IRIX Workstation

Note
  This device driver is for workstations running the Silicon Graphics IRIX operating system. It makes use of the SGI GL library (you need to include this library when linking PGPLOT programs that use this driver: use, e.g., `-lgl_s`). Most users will prefer to use the X-Window driver (/XWIN or /XSERV), which works correctly on IRIX workstations.
Supported device
  IRIS 4D workstation. This driver handles the following capabilities: arbitrary sized view surface, 32 colors, 16 pre-defined, white background, buffering, a fully working cursor, with values returned for the mouse buttons, fast polygon and rectangle fill.
Device type code
  `/IRIS` gives a 7.8 by 7.8-inch window (640 by 640 pixels); `x/IRIS` gives a square window, x by x inches; `x,y/IRIS` gives a rectangular window, x by y inches. x and y can be integers or decimal numbers.
Bugs
  This driver does not report the position of the cursor correctly unless the window is in the very bottom left of the screen. This and other bugs are unlikely to be corrected: you should use the X-window driver instead.
