Echidna. ====================================================================== VOGLE 1.2 fixes some bugs and includes some speed ups from previous versions of VOGLE. Specifically, all matrix stack manipulations are now 'done in place' to save time. VOGLE stands for "Very Ordinary Graphics Learning Environment". VOGLE is a device portable 3D graphics library that is loosely based on the Silicon Graphics Iris GL. VOGLE also supports 3D software text in the form of Hershey vector fonts. The directories in this distribution contain the source for the VOGLE library. They are as follows: docs contains the documentation such as there is. drivers contains the source to a variety of device drivers, currently restricted to: postcript, sun workstation, apollo workstations, X11 (R2, R3 & R4), tektronix (401x), hpgl, dxy, and the ibm pc cards: hercules mono, cga, ega, vga and sigma. examples contains some C and FORTRAN programs useful both in testing and (hopefully) learning how to use it. hershey contains the source for generating fonts and the hershey data for the occidental and oriental character sets. src contains the source for the C VOGLE interface, and the source for the FORTRAN interfaces where available. This software is public domain and may be used for any purpose commercial or otherwise. It is offered without any guarantee as to its suitability for any purpose or as to the sanity of its writers. We do ask that the source is passed on to anyone that requests a copy. Although VOGLE is public domain we will drink any quantity of Beer you send to us. Regards, Eric H.

README for vopl: ============================================================================ The directories in this distribution contain the source for the VOPL library, and the graph plotting program gpp. They are as follows: docs contains the documentation such as there is. examples some C and FORTRAN example programs. gpp contains the source for the plotting program gpp. src contains the source for the VOPL library and the source for the FORTRAN interfaces. VOPL is a library of routines for doing fits and graph plots written using the VOGLE graphics library. We are still developing VOPL so constructive comments and Beer are always welcome. This software is public domain and may be used for any purpose commercial or otherwise. It is offered without any guarantee as to its suitability for any purpose or as to the sanity of its writers. We do ask that the source is passed on to anyone that requests a copy. As Godzilla once said, "Gad, what food these mortals are."
