- QuickPlot is a simple plotting tool meant to provide easy 2-D
- plotting of ASCII data files. Files are assumed to contain two
- columns of ASCII numbers (integers of floating-point values),
- where the columns should be separated by a TAB or SPACE character.
-
- This tool was written using the NeXT Interface Builder tool, and
- consequently provides a fairly simple example of how to use the
- interface tool. It also provides a simple introduction to the
- PostScript graphics language.
-
- To Build the tool simply type 'make' from the current directory and
- the rest should be done automatically.
- To install the tool, copy the file 'QuickPlot' to '/LocalApps' or
- to '~/Apps' in your home directory and then use the 'Find Applications'
- panel item from the 'Utilities' panel in the Workspace menu.
- QuickPlot should then have its own icon.
-
-
- Note that QuickPlot is not intended to produce publication-quality plots,
- but rather is meant to be a fast and simple means of graphically displaying
- data. Feel free to add options to the tool to suit your needs.

- number (from the Info panel) in all correspondence.
