[comp.graphics.visualization] Wanted: contour tool for plotting simple 2d contour fields

clk@splash.Princeton.EDU (Christopher Kranz) (03/12/91)

In the hope of not having to reinvent the wheel I thought I would post
first and code later.

Does anyone know of a contour tool that could generate 2d contours on an x
y field given some data file?  I am interested in running such a utility
under sunview, OpenWindows, and other X based windowing systems.

Bells and whistles that would be useful would be labels, axis scaling,
color, postscript, and general ease of use.

I would be more than happy to summarize the results of my quest.
