Subject: BART schedule, Tufte and Icon
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@optima.CS.Arizona.EDU
Status: RO
I wrote a little Icon program to draw Bart (San Francisco area metro
railway) schedules as first drawn by E. J. Marey and popularised by
E. R. Tufte. I think it's not bad for a couple of hours of work, and thought
others might be interested. It's about 500 lines of poorly documented
(but easy to understand, I think!) code, and I'd be glad to send it to
anyone that wants to play with it and improve it.
