- This directory contains version 2 of the additional files
- you'll need to get gnuplot3.0 to display it's postscript directly to a
- window instead of going through the klunky process of writing the
- postscript to a file and launching Previewer to view the file. Note
- that all input is still done at the shell level! Fancier NeXTStep
- interfaces will be a future project.
-
- This version is faster and leaner than the old method. It
- also does not eat up swap space like the older version (this was
- particularly noticeable when doing animation-like plots). To do this
- I used DPS function calls instead of creating a NXImage and
- compositing the stream of commands. I based my code on the program
- called "epsview" in the hackkit tar file on the archive servers.
-
- The next_dps.trm (next terminal) is basically the post.trm
- (postscript terminal) with the fprintf replaced by DPSPrintf and
- outfile by the DPSContext d. You'll also see that I also used some
- code (with modifications) from David S. Joerg's MovieApp. Using the
- DPS functions enabled me to slim down the EpsViewer.[hm] and
- EPSView.[hm] files.
-
- No claim is made to code elegance or to it being a good example of
- objective-c coding. This is my first (well, second, sort of) objective-c
- program. It seems to work for me. Any constructive criticism would be
- appreciated. I can be reached at strobel@phast.phys.washington.edu

- cheers!
