      SUBROUTINE PLTABS
C        9-Nov-82 DVJensen, Ames Laboratory ISU/USDOE, Ames, IA 50011
C PLTABS subroutine to switch from HIPLOT graphics relative mode
C        to absolute mode.  Output to the plotter is through the
C        PLTOUT subroutine.  The EZPLOT graphics routines operate
C        in absolute mode and the Calcomp-style primitives use 
C        relative mode.

      LOGICAL*1 ABSOLU
      DATA ABSOLU /'A'/
C
      CALL PLTOUT(ABSOLU,1)
      RETURN
      END
