[net.graphics] Unix and C graphics

alexm@psych.uq.oz (Alex McBratney ) (08/14/85)

I am in desperate need of the following graphics software.

a) More sophisticated versions of "graph" and "plot".
   i.e. "graph" with many more options, and "plot" with options
         for HPGL (for Houston Instruments DMP29) and Tektronix 4027
          (for Intecolor 2427).

b) Graphics functions for use in C programs (device dependent or independent)

c) A stand-alone graphics program capable of sophisticated graphics perhaps
   with its own interpreter (not S).

The kind of graphics we want to do includes normal x,y plots, contour maps
either using lines or solid colour and perspective plots of surfaces.

Public domain and proprietary software considered.

Finally, is there a C or Fortran implementation of GKS available under UNIX?

That's a' the noo. Ta ................................. Ta Ta

Most manufacturers of stand-alone UNIX-based graphic workstations (ie: SUN,
Intergraph, etc) offer GKS and/or CORE support, usually running under a
4.2bsd or SysV derivative. 

This may possibly be of some use to you.
