What graphical packages in X are available for drawing
interactively 2D and 3D plots from within a C-
or Fortran-program. I'm thinking of something like
GKS or DISSPLA. Any info would be appreciated.

Aside from the built-in X drawing primitives, various vendors are offering packages (either server extensions or client libraries) for drawing with GKS, PHIGS, Display PostScript, and others. Digital offers all 3 for Digital workstations. Other vendors are selling PHIGS and the U. of Lowell is distributing a GKS to educational institutions.

I would heartily recommend the xgks package available via anonymous ftp from expo. xgks is a level 2C implementaion of gks for x11. c and fortran bindings are included. previous postings describe the package more fully. xgks is brought to you by IBM Technical Computing Systems - Cambridge and the Computer Science Department of the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign. several other workstation vendors have a similar package. i'm sure they would be happy to sell it to you. ---------------------------------------------------------------- David Berkowitz uunet!ibmsuptoutrigger!!david (415) 855-4485 The opinions expressed above are not necessarily those of IBM
