[comp.sys.mac.apps] Plotting Coordinates

Barry.Chern@p19.f20.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Barry Chern) (05/16/91)

Does anyone know how to plot out a map based on x,y coordinates with label data at the appropriate points? In other words, say I have a tab/return delimited file with three fields in each record:label, x coordinate, y coordinate. How could I transform that into a map? Is there a PD utility for such a thing? An Excel formula or macro? A HyperCard XCMD?

I'm sure there must be someone out there doing this sort of thing. No?

Thanks,
Barry

You could use KaleidaGraph 2's error bar facility - see page 167 of the
manual.

Good Luck
