- IMPORTANT!
-
- This program requires some knowledge about Gnuplot 2.0 pl0, and a
- part of its code. If you don't have it, ftp from the nearest server,
- and at least print and read the documentation.
-
- **********************************************************************
-
- DISCLAIMER 1.
-
- This program has never had any claims to be The Ultimate Chart
- Maker. It should be treated rather as a previewer before writing
- proper SAS program or transmitting data to Lotus 1-2-3.
- And it is no serious work, but effect of several weeks of hacking
- well written Gnuplot code.
-
- **********************************************************************
-
- HOW TO INSTALL FCHART
-
- Fchart needs the following Gnuplot v2.0 files:
- docs/*.c
- term.o
- plot.h
- help.h
- scanner.o
- help.o
- (or sources and original Makefile)
- so there are two basic ways to make it work. Read carefully.
-
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Create new directory, and unshar fchart right there.
- Rename make.fil to Makefile.
- Edit Makefile:
- - set LIBS properly, according to your Gnuplot Makefile.
- - make GNUP point to Gnuplot directory. Path MUST NOT end with "/".
- Cross your fingers.
- Type "make fchart"
- If OK, it's there, named "fchart".
-
- 2. Unshar fchart in Gnuplot directory. My files don't have conflicting
- names, so thre should be no harm done.
- Edit make.fil:
- - set LIBS as above.
- - define "GNUP=."
- DO NOT RENAME "make.fil" TO "Makefile" !
- Cross your fingers.
- Type "make -f make.fil fchart".
- If OK, it's there, named "fchart".
-
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- To make documentation, choose 'tex', 'dvi', 'troff' or 'nroff'.
- "make install" will install program as well as built-in help, but
- before set properly DEST and HELPDEST in Makefile
- If you'd like to change the code, read the warning in "fgraf.c".
-
- **********************************************************************
-
- TERMINALS AND OPTIONS
-
- Fchart takes only one option: type of terminal to produce output
- for. Terminal settings work like in Gnuplot, and also use GNUTERM
- environment variable. In addition, you can define TERM within "fcmd.c"
- to be your preferred terminal. This overrides GNUTERM, but can be
- changed by init file ".fchart". Then the command line option is used,
- and makes the final change to the terminal.
- In this release, TERM is set to "tektronix".
-
- **********************************************************************
-
- DISCLAIMER 2.
-
- Sorry for the poor quality of the code. I am only a CS student,
- working here on the traineeship. I have almost no experience. I don't
- like graphics. And you know this side of student life: the only one
- place where you have time to sleep are lectures or your work ...
