I found a way to plot graphs on the Next using an old Tek4014 program.
It's kind of cludgy, but what I do is run the program as follows:
tekprogram | ps4014 > out.ps
-- type any input needed --
-- cause program to exit --
Preview out.ps
Preview plots the result on the screen and I can print the graphic from within
Preview. Great! However, I have the following limitations:
1) Preview says the file out.ps lacks a proper header so it can only page in
ascending order. No big deal, but why doesn't ps4014 do it right?
2) Can't print individual pages, only all pages at once. This might be due to
1).
3) Can't select or copy graphic to the pasteboard. The only thing that gets
copied is the number at the bottom of the page.
I would like to be able to paste individual graphs into WriteNow. Is there a
way to accomplish this in general? I suspect that I need the .eps format to
do this. Is there a way to convert a .ps file into a .eps file?
Thanks for your help!
