The files in this directory describe how to read and write "Universal
Plane File Format" files. Most of the image data files available from
this FTP site are in the format (indicated by a suffix of either
'.plane' or '.planes'). There is a LaTeX file
(universal_plane_file_format.tex), with a PostScript output
(universal_plane_file_format.ps) that gives a verbal description of this
format. There is also a collection of C program files that can be used
to build a library of functions that read and write plane files. There
is also a *simple* X11 display program. All of the code and
documentation is bundled into a compressed tar file - universal.tar.Z,
which can be fetched instead the spearate files in this directory.
For more information about plane files or the code here, send mail to
Robert Heller <heller@cs.umass.edu>.
PS:
*NEW*NEW*NEW*
There is a new and improved XShowPlane program in NewXShowPlane under
this directory. It compiles (with gcc) and runs under Ultrix 4.2 on
DECStations using X11R5 and Motif (it was designed with XDesigner). It
also works with mono displays as well as color. Note: the Makefile
will need to be edited (it references our X11R5 setup, assumes gcc is on
your path, and is setup to compile for a DECStation).
