- NXplotNd - release 1.0
- ----------------------
- This is the first 'release' version of NXplotNd. I have decided to make
- shareware contributions for the program voluntary. That is, the program is
- not disabled in any respect if you don't pay. This is also the first
- version with no expiration date (although you might want to check for
- updates occasionally). If you use the program regularly, please
- consider making the nominal contribution I request in the introduction
- in the on-line help.
-
- ---------------
-
- NXplotNd is a 2 thru n dimensional plotting program. It does many plots
- not supported by any other NeXTStep software (that I'm aware of). Other
- than simple 2d line/symbol plots it will do 3d surface plots, volume
- vis. contours (isosurfaces), and MANY others. The paradigm used by the
- program is very flexible, but gives the program a pretty steep initial
- learning curve. It comes with a set of demos which double as
- tutorials. I would strongly suggest looking over the demos or looking
- over the online help. Otherwise you may have a frustrating initial
- experience.
-
- IMPORTANT
- ---------
- I have compiled for a couple of different arch. combinations. These
- packages are NOT installer packages. To unpack them, change to your
- home directory and type:
-
- 'gnutar -xvzf <archive pathname>'
-
- This will put NXplotNd.app in your home Apps directory and will put the
- plot modules in your home Library directory in a NXplotNd
- subdirectory. I will make an installer package sometime in the future.
- If you wish to install the package for general use on your
- machine/cluster, the application can be put in /LocalApps and the
- NXplotNd subdirectory in ~/Library can be moved to /LocalLibrary.
-
- NXplotNd1.0.I.b.tgz Binaries compiled Intel only.
- NXplotNd1.0.N.b.tgz Binaries compiled NeXT only. (may work with 3.0)
- NXplotNd1.0.NIHS.b.tgz Binaries compiled quad-fat.
- NXplotNd.1b4.demos.tgz Demo files. Work best on color machines.
- Look for an update soon.
-
- NXplotNd.demos.bw.tar.gz Some older demos which were 'fixed' for use
- on non-color machines.
-
- NXplotNd.API.1b1.tgz Docs and examples for the Obj-C API. Let me
- know if you use this. It takes a lot of effort
- to support, so I won't continue if nobody's
- using it.
