- The vplot package, available from hanauma.stanford.edu by
- anonymous FTP, will probably do what you want.
-
- The package includes a FORTRAN-callable library (written in
- C, intended to be usable from either language) that
- implements a superset of the CALCOMP functionality. Some
- minor changes to the library may be needed to support
- straight CALCOMP calls.
-
- X and PostScript both have some support as vplot output
- devices (enough to do vector plots) though the X filter is
- probably dated with respect to changes in X.
-
- This software is somewhat complicated to install. It's
- NOT a quick way to get a CALCOMP-to-X filter, but it
- is a useful production system for people who do graphics on
- UNIX systems with many different display devices.
