Has anyone out there written a plot(3g) library (similar to the HPGL library recently posted) that works with DEC graphics terminals such as the GIGI and VT125? I think they both speak the same graphics language (Regis?). Please MAIL an OFFER to send the source, I will try to choose the closest system (to minimize the amount of traffic through the net). If I don't hear anything in a week or so, I will undertake the project and offer the results to the net.

What follows is a summary of what I have received in response to my net.wanted.sources article requesting a plot(3) library for Regis. Tim Morrissey (ihnp4!druxt!timothy) - has what he calls a very limited thrown-together library for line drawing. He is willing to share what he has if I want to implement a Regis library. Jim Mayer (rochester!mayer) - has a library that has only been tested on vt125 terminals. Steve Sutphen (ihnp4!alberta!steve) - has an extended plot(3) implementation that has been tried on vt125s and vt240s. He offers it to any requester with proof of source license. Lee Ward (convex!unmvax!lee) - sent me his implementation of the plot(3) library for Regis (thank you Lee!). I have been running it for a few days now and it seems to be just what the doctor ordered.... He invites me to do whatever I please to it, but would like to hear of any additions. Greg Cline (decvax!dartvax!cline) - suggests that I write to Kiewit Computation Center at Dartmouth. They have "lots" of gigi's and plotting packages, but he didn't know the specifics. Chip Rosenthal (cbosgd!t4test!chip) - is running vt240s (in Tektronix 4014 mode and requests that I forward this list (here it is...) Jim Rees (apollo!rees) - has a program that reads plot(5) files and plots them on a Gigi. He says that it could be converted to a set of plot(3) routines without too much trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to all of you who replied. And I wondered if anyone else in the whole world uses Regis!! Mark Vasoll Oklahoma State University Computer Science Department

Has anyone already written plot library routines to convert plot(5) output into QMS "quic" graphics? We would like to locate a device filter that can be used with both the QMS 1200 and 2400 laser printers by Quality Micro Systems. (The environment is 4.2BSD on a VAX, but this type of filter should be portable). Thanks in advance, Ed Frankenberry {ihnp4,decvax}!bbncca!ezf ezf@bbn-unix.ARPA

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,

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 to use plot with other terminals. Anyone know about it? Alternatively, does anyone know how to make an IBM PC/XT or a DEC Professional emulate one of the devices recognized by plot(1): Tektronix 4014 storage scope DASI Hyterm 450 terminal DASI 300 or GSI terminal DASI 300S terminal ? I'm not familiar with most of these so it may be a rediculous question, but I thought I'd try anyway. Thanks.

Sender: I am looking for an implementation of the plot(3) routines using HP-GL, the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language as implemented on, for example, the HP 7470 Graphics Plotter. A plot(5) filter would also be useful. -- * * * * * * * Scott Anderson * * ** ihnp4!oddjob!kaos!sra * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
