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.
