I would appreciate receiving any pointers from any netters about the availablity of any good PD graphical tools for the Sun Workstation. I am looking for software that will enable me to plot (2D) different kinds of graphs (Pie charts, bar charts etc etc) with x-axis labels, y-axis labels, graph title and all the works, 1) by reading data from another file, 2) plotting an equation with given ranges etc, 3) and of course drawing figures, diagrams with boxes, text, circles etc (some thing like macdraw). I also need to be able to save the figures in pic format for inclusion in troff documents, and to be able to print it off on a laser printer. A friend of mine tells me that he has seen somewhere a PD utility that converts a macdraw file into a pic file, so that it could be included in troff documents. You know why I am after PD software, I am a student trying to have the necessary tools to make my Ph.D. thesis look "picturesque". Thanks in advance, if there is sufficient interest I will summarize Joseph Rajkumar email:- rajkumar@plains.NoDak.edu PS: ftp site information would be very much appreciated
