Many thanks to all that replied to my query a couple of weeks ago about xy-plotting (or graphing) packages that displayed on Sunview and produced PostScript output. As it turns out, a summary of graphing packages is in Sunspots Digest v9n49. Sorry for taking up bandwidth asking for old info - maybe I should read my mail more closely! Anyhow, the summary of replies follows. I can't give an evaluation of all the packages since I haven't tried them all. grtool This was the most mentioned package, and the one we have decided to use. Very impressive (thanks Paul Turner). Available anonymous ftp from cse.ogi.edu GnuTeX Works with Fig & Transfig. From duke.cs.duke.edu SunGraf From eng.clemson.edu graph+ Located in comp.sources.unix Superplot From cs.ubc.ca sunplot Info about this from leeisner.henr@xerox.com vogle vopl Vogle is a rather impressive graphics library for use in Fortran and C programs, and vopl is the plotting utility built with vogle.
