WANTED:
A simple to learn and simple to use 2-D drawing programme (package) running
under UNIX Berkeley 4.2 on a DEC VAX 11/780:
* a picture at least contains points, straight line segments connecting
points, symbols or pictograms, and text strings anywhere; any item can
have its own colour.
* (part of) a drawing can be entered (in layers) via one or more files
with prescribed formats, but also interactively with the keyboard and/or
a mouse or a tablet.
* a drawing can be modified by editing the file(s) describing the picture
in a (normal) text edit session, but also interactively with the
keyboard and/or a mouse or a tablet.
* a drawing, a new one or an update, is saved automatically in one or more
files; it is also possible to put it on paper with a plotter or via a
hardcopy device.
* symbols, pointsizes, line structures, etcetera can be (pre)defined and
put into a library.
* zooming, rotating, and automatic scaling of (part of) the picture are
possible.
Please let me know wether such a drawing programme package does exist, and
how it can be obtained. Except for the UNIX VAX, the hardware devices may
depend on the drawing programme.
Thanks in advance,
