- You may want to take a look at FIGraph, out "two-call" charting and graphing
- library built on top of PHIGS. It comes with both a C and a FORTRAN binding
- and it does lines, bars, and pies in addition to contours and surfaces.
-
- FIGraph does not have a direct point and click (GUI) interface at this time.
- However, because it's built on top of FIGARO+, it can be integrated easily
- into a GUI. We are, of course, in the planning stages of a GUI product for
- FIGraph.
-
- One other comment, FIGraph contours both regular and irregular meshes, and
- FIGraph 2.0 will contour arbitrary data by meshing the arbitrary data and
- then contouring the mesh. In general, what is true for contouring is also
- true for surfacing.
