- Description of Version 5 of the SPLOT (Screen Plot) Software:
-
- The SPLOT software will plot two and three dimensional data on the
- screen of an IBM compatible PC with CGA, EGA, VGA or Hercules graphics.
- The plot can be dumped to an IBM/Epson compatible printer or output to
- an HPGL compatible plotter. The SPLOT software can make a line plot, a
- smooth curve plot, a scatter plot, a step plot or histogram of up to 200
- sets of data on the same 2-dimensional plot; multiple data sets can also
- be plotted as a 3-dimensional plot. A single data set can contain up to
- 16000 data points. The plot can have linear, log or normal probability
- axes. Data can be fit by a spline or a least squares polynomial or
- exponential. The SPLOT program creates a plot by executing a sequence
- of plot commands which can be typed at the keyboard, selected from a
- menu or read from a command file.
-

-
- SPLOT.EXE - The program that makes a plot on the screen of a PC.
- PLOTDUMP.COM - A memory resident program that dumps a plot to a printer.
- HPLOT.EXE - A program that makes a plot on a HPGL compatible plotter.
