[comp.graphics] NCAR Graphics

mrb@psueclb.BITNET (08/05/87)

Hi ---

I would appreciate it if someone could give me the details (address,
cost, availability, etc.) involved in obtaining documentation for the
NCAR graphics routines.  Was going to call NCAR in Boulder, but decided
to ask first in case there is a more direct or time-proven method.  Trying
to find the right person to talk to can sometimes take a while.

Please reply by e-mail, if possible.

Thank you very much in advance.

Does anyone have an old copy of the NCAR graphics Package for the VAX?
I would like to get a copy of it before it was converted to GKS and
removed from the public domain.

I am also looking for some PD  source code for drawing contour lines 
of gridded data.

Thanks for any help!

	Take a look in netlib, under "toms"; we got a very nice countour
algorithm from there a little while ago.

Has anyone had experience using the color filled polygons
feature, a.k.a. AREAS, of NCAR's GKS-compatible graphics
system, release 2.0?  Also, does anyone have a NCAR "graphics
capabilities file" for a Raster Technologies One/380 CRT
they would share with me?  Thanks.

I realize that NCAR Graphics is a licensed product for which 
various fees must be paid. However, I have seen references to
early, public domain versions of the library. Are these references
correct - does (or did) such a version exist, and if so, where?

Thanks,
Scott
