Does anybody know whether the unix plot(1g) subroutine
libraries are in the public domain. I would like to
enhance them and post enhanced versions to the net. Does
anyone know who wrote them?

I am trying to use the plot(3X) graphics library on the Vax. I would like to load my program with the device-independent plot library (-lplot) and then run it with a filter specific to my terminal, e.g., cc -o program program.c -lplot program | plot -Ttermtype as described in the UNIX manual (BSD 4.2). My problem is that there are only four or five different terminals for which filters are provided, none of which I have. Specifically, I would like to run my program using an IBM PC/XT or a DEC Professional as my terminal. Does anyone know of additional plot filters or device-specific plot libraries that are compatible with plot(3X)? Thanks,

This may not be exactly the answer you're looking for, but Pro/VENIX has quite good plot(1) and plot(3X) support. If you're actually running P/OS on your Pro, you owe it to yourself to check out Pro/VENIX. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc.

Postnews seems to have eaten the signature on my original article... Janet Abbate UUCP: ..decvax!linus!harvard!popvax!janet ARPA: popvax!janet@harvard.arpa P.S. I've heard of a database called "graphcap" that might provide the necessary information for terminals to use standard UNIX(TM) plot routines. Anyone know about it? P.P.S Someone suggested I try using Venix(TM) on my DEC Pro to get the graphics capabilities. I AM using Venix (highly recommended) -- now I'm trying to port my code to the VAX (that's why I'm trying to use those "standard" plot routines in the first place). Are there any portable graphics packages out there?
