- Release of GPLOT (4.3b2) -- Oct. 30, 1991
-
- This is the official release of GPLOT 4.3b2 available through anonymous
- ftp from ftp.psc.edu:/pub/gplot. This is a small bug fix version, and
- differs slightly from gplot 4.3b1.
-
- This release also includes the 3.3 release of CGMGen and DrawCGM software.
- To get the release information for DRAWCGM, please take a look at the file
- README.DRAWCGM.
-
- If you are interested in getting the HDF driver for GPLOT, please get
- the file README.HDF and hdfdev.tar.Z.
-
- The files necessary to create GPLOT are available in two forms.
-
- (1) If you are on a Unix system, FTP the file gplot.tar (using binary
- format), move it into its own directory (gplot), and un-tar it
- using the command 'tar xf gplot.tar'.
-
- The Makefile contains a complete Unix makefile. You will need to modify
- the Makefile to include a workstation driver of your choice according to
- the included directions and use it to make gplot and drawcgm. Please
- read the instructions before making any changes to the Makefile.
-
- A note about the two X window drivers : xl and xws
- ---------------------------------------------------
- xl works great with simple cgm files, and is fast, but does not have
- colormaps installed.
- xws has colormaps and good dithering techniques. So it can be used for
- cell array cgm files, but the rendering process can be slow.
-
- The interfaces "gplotdw", "gplotaw" and "gplotm" use xl by default.
- If you wish to change that to use xws, you will need to edit the
- Makefile appropriately.
-
-
- (2) If you are on a VMS system, copy all the files in the 'src' directory,
- and use the descrip.mms file (if you are running MMS) or use the file
- MAKEGPLOT.COM to construct GPLOT.
-
-
- When you take a copy of GPLOT, please send mail to Anjana Kar (kar@a.psc.edu)
- so we can add you to our mailing list. Bug reports should be sent to Anjana
- at that address.
