Does anyone know about any simple PD/Shareware utility (or source code)
that will take in a data file of x-y coordinates and just plot them to the
screen? The data file format does not matter since I will be making my own
program that will generate it and write it to disk. It can be for any ST
resolution. It does not need to draw curves or splines between the points,
just to plot them one at a time. Thanks in advance...

GNU Plot sounds like what you're after. It will take data files, plot functions and do so on a variety of output devices (such as the ATari ST screen, a file of Postscript output or an Epson printer). It was recently posted to comp.binaries.atari.st and should also be available on atari.archive. > >-- > ___ / _______________________________ - Francisco X DeJesus > |- / \/ \\ > ' / /\ dejesus@bourbon.ee.tulane.edu \\__________________________ > / ak662@cleveland.freenet.edu //////////////////////////// Roy Bixler netcom!rcb@apple.com

BUT .... it refuses to plot negative points when you give a data file. Worse, it takes a (X,Y) and plots it like (|X|,|Y|)..... I've send mail about it, but never received any reply. -- Andre v.d.

[stuff deleted] > It was >recently posted to comp.binaries.atari.st and should also be available >on atari.archive. Can someone tell me where it is on comp.binaries.atari.st? I've checked the entire binaries index to Panarthea and I've checked volumes 10 to 12 in the Binaries directory on atari.archive (which should be redundant coverage). I've found a few programs that do plotting in the binaries archive(s), however, I need the ability to generate a Postscript output file which GNU Plot sounds like it has. On the other hand, are there programs out there that'll do a screen dump (monochrome format) to disk? (Then all I'd need to do is ask on comp.lang.postscript how to print that on a postscript printer!) john chu@autarch.acsu.buffalo.edu
