- PLPLOT is a library of C functions useful for scientific plotting on the
- Amiga personal computer. The library is Lattice C compatible. For
- those of you with another compiler or who want to modify the code the
- source is provided in directory src.
-
- Contour plotting, three dimensional plotting, axis redefinition, log-log
- plotting and multiple subpages are a few of PLPLOT's features. The
- plots can be displayed on your monitor or a graphics file can be created
- which can be sent to a hard copy device.
-
- To see some of the features of this package I suggest you go to examples
- directory, READ THE README FILE THERE, and then compile and run one of
- the example programs.
-
- The documentation is in the docs directory and is written in LaTeX. I
- apologize to those who don't have AmigaTeX or easy access to TeX on
- another machine.
-
- This is Version 1.00 of PLPLOT for the Amiga. I had hoped to add a few
- more features to the package before releasing, but this work seems to
- have taken a back seat to work on my dissertation at present. The wish
- list includes:
-
- (1) Color support for the Amiga screen driver. I have written drivers
- for a few hard copy devices that do provide color support and it
- would be pretty easy to do on the Amiga. I don't have a need for it
- though and it does require more memory.
-
- (2) Device independence. I would like to have PLPLOT produce a device
- independent file and then have separate drivers that use this file
- to generate hard copy. Presently new drivers must be integrated
- into the package. This would take a little time to accomplish and
- I don't see myself doing it in the near future.
-
- This is FREEWARE. It's my way of saying thank you to those people who
- have written freeware for the Amiga in the past. Feel free to
- redistribute this package to anyone who wants it. I do ask that only
- this version (unaltered) be distributed and that the package be
- distributed in its entirety (including the documentation).
-
- Let me know if you have any comments, find any bugs, or are willing to
- work on translating the package for use with another compiler. I prefer
- being contacted by mail, either electronic or US.
