PlotView - UNIX Plot file viewer for the Amiga.
by Joel Swank - 9-30-88
PlotView draws UNIX plot format files on an Amiga Hi-Res screen. It has
Menu options to Draw a file, Clear the screen, set Scaling, Print, set the
Colors, and Quit. It can be started from the CLI or Workbench.
From CLI:
>plotview file . . .
Files will be read and drawn in order. Files can also be read by selecting
the 'Draw File' Menu item. The FileIO requester by RJ Mical will be used
to select a file name.
The scaling of the drawing can be modified by selecting the 'Set Scale'
Menu item. This brings up the scale selection window. Enter Scale factors
in the left two string gadgets. Default is 3120. Valid entrys are from 100
to 10000. A smaller number means a larger drawing. Enter the offset in the
right two string gadgets to shift the picture in the window. A positive or
negative number may be entered. Toggle on the 'OVERRIDE FILE' gadget if you
want the entered values to override any 'space' commands in the file.
Otherwise these numbers will only be used for files with no space command.
The screen can be printed using the 'Print' Menu item. You may have to
adjust preferences to get a good printout on a one-color printer. Try
Black & White, Negative, and threshold = 5.
If you prefer other colors, you can set them with the ColorWindow menu
item. It allows you to set the colors using the ColorWindow by RJ Mical.
After viewing plot files click the (invisable) close gadget in the
upper left corner of the PlotView window, or select the 'Close' Menu item.
