NCSA Layout
_______________________________________________________________________________
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Please read the README.FIRST file - found at the root level of this server -
for general information and instructions on unarchiving and uncompressing
files (files with the ".sit", ".hqx", ".zip", ".tar", and ".Z" extensions).
The README.BROCHURE also contains helpful descriptions of this and other
software offered on the ftp server.

NCSA LAYOUT
This is a graphics editing package that allows the user to create professional
quality color Layouts of scientific data with the ability to add annotations,
grid lines, and tick marks. When opening an HDF file in NCSA Layout 1.3, a
list of the contents of the file is brought up so the user may choose from the
existing elements of the file.
The NCSA Layout1.3 distribution contains two Mac applications, Layout1.3 and
Layout1.3 LCsi. The LCsi version will run on the Mac LC or SI machines without
the 68881 math coprocessor. The other version takes advantage of the math
coprocessor to make computation faster.
NOTES
The "misc" directory contains the laybat application....
The sample file includes Layouts, images, and palettes. The Layouts include
"Shock Wave" and "vortex2.layout". "Shock Wave" is described in the Tutorial
section of the documentation. "vortex2.layout" is an example of what can be
created demonstrating the pasting abilities of NCSA Layout 1.3. The drawing
annotations were created in MacDraw and pasted into NCSA Layout. The images
folder contain two examples of images that can be loaded into NCSA Layout 1.3.
The palettes folder contains several example palettes.
The source file includes the source and make files for the application, the
color menu definition, and HDF file routines. The source code was compiled
using MPW 3.2.
NOTES BUGS
Undo is always dimmed. This is because you cannot undo. Sorry!
File error checking is not as thorough as it should be. Not all file
errors are reported to the user (i.e. disk full).
The color pop up menus do not work properly with the init
"ScrollMBar".
If you have questions about NCSA Layout 1.3 for the color Macintosh,
you can contact the NCSA consulting office at (217) 244-1144.
Thank you.
