- The directories in this directory contain the source for the VOGL library
- and the library hershey which is for manipulating the Hershey font data.
-
- They are as follows:
-
- docs contains the documentation such as there is.
-
- drivers contains the source to a variety of device drivers,
- currently restricted to: postcript, sun workstation,
- apollo workstations, X11 (R2, R3 & R4), tektronix
- (401x), hpgl, dxy, and the ibm pc cards: hercules mono,
- cga, ega, vga and sigma.
-
- examples contains some C and FORTRAN programs useful both in
- testing and (hopefully) learning how to use it.
-
- hershey contains the source for the hershey library plus the
- source for generating fonts and the hershey data for
- the occidental and oriental character sets. Note: as
- with VOGL this library is callable in C and FORTRAN.
-
- src contains the source for the C VOGL interface, and the
- source for the FORTRAN interfaces where available.
-
- If you have a real SGI machine with GL on it, you can simply compile the
- Hershey library and the examples with "make -f Makefile.sgi". Otherwise,
- you will have to edit the Makefile to set various options for your machine
- and type "make".
-
- VOGL is a device portable graphics library that tries to be Silicon Graphics
- Iris GL compatible. Our intention is that any VOGL program will compile
- unchanged on a machine running SGI GL (the examples do). VOGL is based
- entirely on our other graphics library VOGLE. While we still regard VOGLE
- as our main library (it is, and probably will be for some time to come, the
- one that gets the most use around here), we will gratefully accept any bug
- fixes or enhancements. As always suggestions are also welcome.
-
- This software may be used for any purpose commercial or otherwise. It is
- offered without any guarantee as to its suitability for any purpose or as
- to the sanity of its writers. We do ask that the source is passed on to
- anyone that requests a copy, and that people who get copies don't go round
- claiming they wrote it (that is why this one has a copyright notice in it,
- see file COPYRIGHT).
-
- Although VOGL is free we will drink any quantity of Beer you send to us.
