Plotting...
Here's a summary of plotting programs people have written
me about: thanks to all those that let me know about them
cif2ps version 2 (Gordon W. Ross, MITRE):
a much better version of cif2ps, extending the code
of cif2ps (Marc Lesure, Arizona State University) and
cifp (Arthur Simoneau, Aerospace Corp). It features
command line options for depth and formatting. Can
extend one plot over several pages (up to 5 by 5, or
25 pages). By default, uses a mixture of postscript gray fill
and cross-hatching.
It was posted to comp.sources.misc,
and is available by ftp from uunet.uu.net(192.48.96.2) as:
comp.sources.misc/volume8/cif2ps.Z.
flea Edward Allen Luke, Mississippi State University
Does line drawings with crosshatching for postscript,
versatec, and hp plotters. Many options (depth, label
depth, scale, path, format...) and probably easy to
modify for other devices.
Available by ftp from zeus.ee.msstate.edu in
pub/flea.tar.Z.
vic Part of the U. of Washington's Northwest Lab, for Integrated
Systems Cad Tool Release (previously UW/NW VLSI Consortium).
Does postscript and HP pen plotters.
Only available as part of the package, and I haven't tried it.
Contact Vicky Palm (palm@june.cs.washington.edu) for more
information on the entire set of tools.
As for plotting in color, the most inventive solution was doing a
screen dump of a magic job and plotting that (billed as "the poor
man's solution"). If we do get something something for color hear,
adding to flea looks like the best bet (uness someone beats us to it).
Thanks again for the responses.
