I'm posting this for a friend who had trouble posting this to the net:
---------
I am looking for a graphics package which supports the GKS standard
using the C language. A package which provides source code would be
terrific. Also, I would appreciate any information on the GKS C
bindings or where I could obtain the information. If I receive many
responses, I'll summarize and post the info.

jrh,
We have a 2D GKS/C package from
Pacific Basin Graphics
750 York Street
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 824-4910
for the Silicon Graphics IRIS. I have not used
it, but thought that the writers could get you
more info.
In addition, take a look at the August 1986 issue of IEEE _Computer
Graphics and Applications_. This issue is dedicated to graphics standards.
Regards,
Mr. Kelly T. Pickard

P.S. Had trouble replying directly to either of the two addresses

I'm not that familiar with graphics packages (outside of X11 :-),
so I beseech you all for advice.
Several members of our faculty, longtime users of Unified Graphics
under VMS, have recently discovered that we were serious when we
promised to replace our 11/780 with a workstation cluster. Now
they need something like UG for UN*X...
What they "need", in the order that they told me..
-- low cost, preferably free. (I'll convince them to pay for something
if it's a good product with support.)
-- one package, not a bunch of utilities from different places.
-- documentation other than the source code :-P
-- contour plotting (with color)
-- graph utilities, including:
-- a "window" into a large chunk of data,
-- labeling of graphs with titles and user-modifiable cooridinate
marks
-- fortran compatible (they'll learn C if they have to, which I say
they do :-).
-- plotting of 3D data (w/ hidden line removal, of course)
-- other neat features that you think mathematicians might like...
email, I'll summarize if there's interest.
thanks.
