NAME
life - create a biorhythm plotfile for GNUPlot
VERSION
$VER: life.c,v 1.3 93/01/14 18:02:52 tf Exp
SYNPOSIS
life ddmmyyyy ddmmyyyy >plotfile
DESCRIPTION
LIFE is a very simple biorhythm computing facility that generates a
GNUPlot file instead of trying to plot the cycles itself. With this
file you can get much better results since GNUPlot is a very powerful
plotting tool. (You can for example produce a LaTeX output for finest
printing quality of your biorhythm...)
The first argnument LIFE needs is the birth date, the second date sets
the month for which the plotfile will be created. The dates MUST have
the following format:
dd day [01..31] with a leading '0' if < 10
mm month [1..12] with a leading '0' if < 10
yyyy year > 1582
EXAMPLES
Let's say you're born on September 27, 1970 and want a GNUPlot file
for March 1993. Then here is what you should type:
1> life 27091970 01031993 | gnuplot
Quite easy, isn't it? ;)
Coming with life is the german BIO which has an additional intuition
interface and own plotting routines (see bio.dok for more information).
Have fun,
-Tobi
