We are looking for a good commercial package for plotting two- and three- dimensional scientific data on SGI workstations. We have a fairly large number of users, so the easier the package is to use, the better -- i.e. a menu-driven program would be ideal. Postscript output would be great, but is not absolutely necessary. Does anyone have any recommendations?

It is a really good package, with a lot of drivers for plotters and terminals... it is somewhat expensive, but i think you might like it... It has several interactive programs for simple and more complex 2 and 3D graphics and it has a very well documented subroutine library... really class !

Hi Allan,
Try PV-WAVE from:
Precision Visuals
6260 Lookout Rd.
Boulder Colorado.
(303) 530-9000
We have been using it on our VAXen here and are very pleased with it. It runs
on most platforms including SGI, VAX/VMS/ULTRIX, SUNS. It is not menu driven but
it IS quite a nice interactive package, 2 and 3 dimensional, Image analysis
commands, X-window support (as well as a zillion different graphics terminals),
Postscript output, external routine calls, Interpreted and compiled procedures
and more. A bonus is that the Hotline is very good.
Martin
