The Device Independant Graphics Library is now available for anon-ftp from
godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au (131.170.14.2). DIGS features SGI GL compatible
routines which perform both 2D and 3D drawing. Hershey fonts, are also
available. DIGS runs on the following machines:
Apple Macintosh
IBM PC's
Sun workstations
Apollo workstations
X-windows & Tektronics terminals
SGI workstations (Personal Iris to power series)
PostScript Devices (eg. the Apple Laserwriter)
HPGL
The fully featured PC driver will be available for distribution in the
near future (2 weeks). DIGS is designed to provide a simple & seamless
interface between moving graphics programs amongst the above machines.
Main features of DIGS:
2D and 3D drawing primitives (lookat(), perspective(), v(), ...)
Hershey Fonts (available in any color, scalable, rotatable, etc.)
Can be called from Fortran or C.
Graphics output can be sent to a file (eg. PostScript)
Event handling routines (qread(), qtest(), qreset(), ...)
Questions, bug-reports and comments can be sent to the following e-mail
address:

--------
There are some other SGI binaries at godzilla which you may find useful.
Help yourself!
tex-on-sgi.tar.Z -- binary TeX and previewer distribution with large
collection of PK fonts.
Note: due to an error on my part, you should
also grab the binary texsgi and manually copy it
to /usr/local/bin. Apologies for that..
emacs.tar.Z -- binary emacs (18.55) and xemacs distribution
ghostscript.tar.Z -- binary Ghostscript distribution
nff-preview -- binary of SGI (GL) NFF file previewer
cscheme6.2.2.bin.tar.Z -- MIT C-scheme, rel 6.2.2 with GL interface and
examples (a binary distribution (full path installation)
There are sources here too:
texsgi.tar.Z -- src distribution of the PK version of texsgi
tex-manpages.tar.Z - nroff'd man pages for those without DWB
nff-preview.src.tar.Z -- src for SGI (GL) NFF file previewer
cscheme6.2.2.src.tar.Z -- MIT C-scheme, rel 6.2.2 with GL interface and
examples (src code, compiled under 3.2)
