[comp.newprod] Hercules Plot

herc%certif@harvard.UUCP (08/22/89)

  Now available from Certified Scientific Software is a package
of subroutines that allows programmers using most PC UNIX systems
to take full advantage of Hercules-type monochrome graphics
adapters.  The package includes all the standard UNIX plot(3)
subroutines (openpl, closepl, erase, space, label, line, circle,
arc, point, linemod, move, cont), plus many enhancements, such as:

  * Patterned fills of circles, rectangles and arbitrary shapes.
  * Two fonts -- 8x8 pixel and 8x16 pixel -- for labels.
  * Clipping windows.
  * Five pixel write-modes, including bit-set, bit-clear and
    exclusive-or.
  * Routines to support double buffering using the Hercules
    adapter's two graphics pages, making animation effects possible.

  The subroutines use only integer code, so they will run
efficiently whether or not floating-point hardware is installed.
Included with the libraries is a 10-page manual and over 500 lines
of demonstration C-code.

  The package is currently available for:

     * Interactive Systems 386/ix
     * AT&T System V/386
     * Microport System V/AT
     * SCO XENIX 286 2.2/2.3
     * SCO XENIX 386 2.3
     * Venturcom's VENIX 2.3/2.4

  A single-user license is priced at $99, plus $2 shipping and
handling.  The subroutines may be licensed for incorporation in
programs for resale by special arrangement.
