The presentation-graphics routines allow application programs to supply data to the ICU and to control the chart types and layout. The ICU uses them to draw the charts specified in its menus. You can use them if you do not require the additional facilities provided by the ICU. The chart types that you can produce with the PG-routine interface are the same as those that you can produce with the ICU, but the routines offer a slightly greater range of formatting options. For example, they enable you to give your chart secondary x and y axes.

Unlike the ICU, the PG-routine interface provides no terminal-input functions. You have to program any user interface that the application may require, such as menus, messages, and help information.
