- GraFig 0.0 is a "trial balloon" program which creates very simple
- graphs from numerical data. It is completely rigid in its operation,
- with NO options or features. I am distributing it for several reasons:
-
- 1) To find out whether there is a need for a fancier
- version of such a program in the user community.
-
- 2) To find out what the important features of such
- a program would be.
-
- 3) To demonstrate how easy it is to write a small
- program which produces graphics in the form of Fig code.
- (GraFig 0.0 took only several hours to write).
-
- I am interested in hearing back from ANY user who is interested in
- this program, even (especially) if you cannot use it because of lack
- of features. I am considering development of a much fancier tool
- for the analysis/plotting of data, with an interactive graphical
- interface.
-
- Please note: the output of GraFig can be edited using any of the
- existing versions of Fig, so you can do a lot of pretty-ing up
- of the graphs by hand. This program is meant to be minimal, in
- order to get design suggestions for a more mature version.

-
- The GnuTeX version of the GnuPlot numerical plotting program can now
- generate Fig code. Thus, it has many features one would want in a more
- mature version of GraFig. GnuTeX is available via anonymous TFP
- from duke.cs.duke.edu. For more information about GnuTeX, contact
- David Kotz (dfk@cs.duke.edu).
