Hello, I built xgks on my HPUX 7.0 under X11R4. and it seems to work fine. The demos that came with it work mostly, but none produce a metafile. One reads one, but there is no way for me to test it. Does anyone have some code I could see as an example for outputting GKS Metafiles using xgks in either or both the C and Fortran bindings. I have a program written in fortran that uses GKS to display some stuff used for radar cross sections. The code works, and xgks gives a picture of the object, but I want to get an output file so that I can make plots to a laser printer or plotter (HPGL if that helps). I don't know if this is right or not, but I also have gplot, which takes in CGM files and outputs X or PostScript, or other formats like tektronix). Is CGM the format GKS uses? If not, then how do I make plots of GKS pictures with xgks + some tool? What is the "some tool"? Thanks, Mike Gourlay mike@penguin.gatech.edu

I downloaded something, xgks.blah.tar.Z, but it wouldn't compile because it couldn't find xgks.h. Also, it was really small...so it seems unlikely it was a GKS implementation. I think it was just an example of opening a GKS session? ___________________________ Aaron Akman aaron@backyard.bellcore.com 908-699-8019

The latest version can be pulled from unidata.ucar.edu [128.117.140.3] via anonymous FTP. The file name is pub/xgks.tar.Z. There is also a xgks mailing list. To subscribe contact :- xgks-request@unidata.ucar.edu Finally a xgks widget has been written by Neil Bowers. I can't remember where he uploaded it to but his mail address is neilb@dcs.leeds.ac.uk Hope this helps Trev
