[comp.windows.x] xgnuplot - improved X11 R4 support for gnuplot 2.0

ejk@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (Ed Kubaitis) (05/09/90)

Xgnuplot is an X11 R4 wrapper/terminal-driver for the gnuplot 2.0 interactive
plotting program. It incorporates the features of the X11 gnuplot support
kindly provided by Chris Peterson, Dana Chee, and others, and adds these
improvements:

   o honors X Toolkit command options and resources including geometry size

   o rescales subsequent plots (or replots) after window resizing

   o different colors as well as shapes for the "points" plotting style

   o handles exposures on systems (e.g. Sequent) without FASYNC socket support

   o man page

   o Because it uses the X Toolkit and Xaw label widget, the code is relatively
     small (~350 vs ~1500 lines) and might serve as a useful example/testbed
     for novice X graphical programmers (like the author.)

Gnuplot 2.0 is required, available from uunet.uu.net in gnu/gnuplot2.0.tar.Z.
Xgnuplot is available via:

   o anonymous ftp to uxc.cso.uiuc.edu in pub/xgnuplot/xgnuplot.shar

   o email request to ejk@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu
