VINNY GRAPHICS 32 bit Version 1.77


INTRODUCTION
Vinny Graphics is a novel graphing and data analysis program for
engineers and engineering students. It is easy to use and accepts
and exports data through a variety of sources.  The intuitive 
Windows interface helps produce multi-parameter design or test
data graphs and perform simple math operations on groups of cells.
This zip package contains the complete 32 bit Vinny Graphics
application for Windows 95. If you wish to run Vinny Graphics on
Windows 3.1x you should download the 16 bit Vinny Graphics
application for Windows.  
  
INPUT
Data input is by:
        1-Cut, copy and paste from external spread sheets.
        2-Loading ascii data files in decimal or exponential format.
        3-Key board entry into a series of internal mini spread sheets.
        4-Loading complete graph files.

MATH AND REGRESSION
Data analysis works on up to 21 independent data sets in Windows 
95 and up to 12 independent data sets in Windows 3.1x.  Each set
can contain up to 10,000 X,Y pairs.  Results are seen graphically
as changes are made.  Curve fits are 1st to 5th order polynomial,
power,  exponential or log. Simple math operations can be performed
on columns of data.

GRAPHS
Graphs allow total freedom in setting up scales and grids.  Log
scales with up to 20 cycles for each axis are available.

OUTPUT 
Output is by:
        1-Cut, copy and paste to external spread sheets.
        2-Saving complete graph files or individual data set files.
        3-Saving sizable graph Bitmap files.
        4-High resolution color graph printing.
        5-Complete data set and regression coefficient printing.

FILES IN THE ZIP PACKAGE
This zip package contains the complete 32 bit Vinny Graphics
application for Windows 95. It will run on Windows 95.  It may
also run on Windows NT but it has not been tested with it. Three
files are required to run the application.  They are vin32.exe,
vin32.hlp and vin32.cfg.  Put them in the same directory.  The
demo files may also be located in this directory or else where
if desired.

ABOUT THE DEMOS
        Logbar.gra demonstrates a 4X4 cycle log-log plot with a
        combination of curve fits, bar and line graphs. This is a
        complete graph and data file produced by Vinny Graphics.

        Demo21.gra and Demo12.gra demonstrate the display of 21
        and 12 data sets.  These are complete graph and data
        files produced by Vinny Graphics.

        DataDemo1.prn is normal X,Y two column data transfer file
        produced by Vinny Graphics.  It represents one data set.

        DataDemo8.prn is an 8 column data file.  The program can
        read but not produce files of this type.  The allowable
        number of columns ranges from 1 to 13 for Windows 3.1x and
        1 to 22 for Windows 95. The column lengths ranges from 1 to
        10,000.  Column 1 is loaded as X values. Column 2 is loaded
        as Y values of data set 1 and column 3 as Y values of data
        set 2 etc.  Hint, to see DataDemo8 more clearly use the
        SCALE dialog button FIND ALL after loading.  A complete
        context sensitive help system is included in the program.

MATH SAMPLE PROBLEM
        A math sample problem [Math_Sam.txt] is included in this
        zip package along with its solution [Math_Sam.gra].

        for each data set.
        Version 1.40 adds independent math operations on groups of
        selected cells in addition to columns of cells.
        Version 1.50 adds round off math operation.
        Version 1.60 general font and menu maintenance.
        Version 1.70 Adds decimal format to log scales.
        Version 1.73 Revises help file and fixes minor bugs.
        Version 1.75 Adds total, average and sigma to math menu.
        Version 1.76 Adds three math menu dialogs.
        Version 1.77 Dialog box maintenance.
