[comp.lang.fortran] Graphics programming in Fortran

nlane@well.sf.ca.us (Nathan D. Lane) (06/25/91)

I have a customer at a University here in town that needs to do some 
graphical programming using LPI Fortran running under Unix (Sys V).  The
output is farily basic - line charts and the like and color is not required.
Can someone point me in the right direction?  I don't know fortran and this
customer is getting irritated about not being able to program graphics.
Preferably, any pointers should be to public domain X-Windows Fortran
bindings.  A similar thread in comp.windows.x turned up 0 results.
If all else fails, is it possible to use the BSD tplot C library using
fortran CALL statements?

Thanks in advance.

Your customer might be interested in the scientific graphic library developed
and maintained by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).  Program
and documentation would be available for a very modest cost to educational
institutions as NCAR is managed by a consortium of universities.

Automatic installation is available for a number of different mainframes and
workstations.
