| 3 | Jgraph takes the description of a graph or graphs in the standard
|
|---|
| 4 | input, and produces a postscript file on the standard output. Jgraph
|
|---|
| 5 | is ideal for plotting any mixture of scatter point graphs, line
|
|---|
| 6 | graphs, and/or bar graphs, and embedding the output into LaTeX, or
|
|---|
| 7 | any other text processing system which can read postscript.
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | The graph description language is simple enough to get nice looking
|
|---|
| 10 | graphs with a minimum of effort, yet powerful enough to give the user
|
|---|
| 11 | the flexibility to tailor the appearance of the graph to his or her
|
|---|
| 12 | individual preferences. This includes plotting multiple graphs and
|
|---|
| 13 | laying them out separately on the page (or pages).
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | The program is written in C, and shouldn't take anything too fancy
|
|---|
| 16 | or machine-dependent. It has been tested on DECstations,
|
|---|
| 17 | sun3's, and sparc's (and is being used on many other types
|
|---|
| 18 | of machines, including those running VMS and DOS).
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | There is a makefile, a man page (in jgraph.1), source code, and
|
|---|
| 21 | example graphs.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | Jgraph is available via anonymous ftp to princeton.edu, in the
|
|---|
| 24 | file pub/jgraph.Z. This file is a compressed shell bundle file.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | Jgraph is also available from netlib, a mail archive server.
|
|---|
| 27 | To acquire jgraph from netlib, send a mail message to
|
|---|
| 28 | netlib@ornl.gov with nothing but the text:
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | send jgraph.shar from misc
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | It will respond by mailing you messages which comprise
|
|---|
| 33 | the file jgraph.shar. To extract jgraph.shar from these
|
|---|
| 34 | messages, first save each one into a file. Then for each
|
|---|
| 35 | of these files, strip off all the lines up to but not including
|
|---|
| 36 | the '#!/bin/sh' line. Then run /bin/sh on each file. When
|
|---|
| 37 | you're done, you should be left with the file jgraph.shar, upon
|
|---|
| 38 | which you then run /bin/sh -- this will produce all the jgraph
|
|---|
| 39 | source files.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | There is also a mailing list in which I inform users directly
|
|---|
| 42 | about bug fixes. This is for those who don't read comp.sources.misc,
|
|---|
| 43 | or those who would like to hear about minor bug fixes which I
|
|---|
| 44 | haven't posted as a patch to comp.sources.misc.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | Please send me comments and/or bug reports.
