- Hi,
- This is WinGnuPlot, a MUIbased GnuPlot Terminaldriver.
- A documentation does do exists (yet?), you should be familiar with the 'old'
- Gnuplot, but here are some basic instructions,:
-
- Start the supplied GnuPlot first, the normal, old amiga driver is named
- 'amigascreen', then new driver 'amigawindow'. If necassary, you should choose
- the new driver by 'set term amigawindow'. The plotprogramm itself 'WinPlot'
- is started by the first plot command, e.g. 'plot sin(x)' oder by the command
- 'clear'. Now start to play with the GUI.
-
- System Requirements :
- Kick2.1, but 3.x is recommended
- (Attention, you will need some Outlinefonts in your FONTS: directory)
- MUI 2.0 (see MUI.readme for details)
- ARexx
- A highres graphicscard (1024x768 or better) is recommended ;-)
-
- If you want to compile the sources, you will need SAS/C 6.50 or better, and
- the original GnuPlot sources. Due to the size of the GnuPlot sources, I have
- included only the patches to GnuPlot 3.5. You should find theses sources on
- any better FTP-server or BBS. The patches are in standard UN*X patch format.
