- VINNY GRAPHICS 16 bit Version 1.83
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
- Vinny Graphics is a novel graphing and data analysis program for
- science 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 16 bit Vinny Graphics
- application for Windows. If you wish to run Vinny Graphics
- on Windows 95 you may want to download the 32 bit Vinny Graphics
- application for Windows 95. It provides increased speed and
- allows 21 rather than 12 data sets.
-
- 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 data in the selected group of cells or data in columns.
-
- 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 16 bit Vinny Graphics
- application for Windows. It will run on Windows 3.1x. Three files
- are required to run the application. They are vin16.exe, vin16.hlp
- and vin16.cfg. Put them in the same directory. The demo files may
- also be located in this directory or else where. If you desire, the
- install.exe file can be run to automate the file transfer process
- and to create a Vinny Graphics Program Group.
-
- 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 PROBLEMS
- The file [math_p.txt] has two sample problems which
- illustrate the use of Vinny Graphics math operations.
- The first problem is at the introductory level and the
- second is at the advanced level. The solution to these
- problems are in [math_p1.gra] and [math_p2.gra].
-
- UPGRADE HISTORY
- Version 1.30 adds independent printer output color control
- for each data set.
- Version 1.40 adds independent math operations on data in
- the selected group 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.
- Version 1.79 Adds math integration and data duplication.
- Version 1.83 Adds optional automatic scales and grids.
