looking for Plotter Subroutines
|

| Wilfried Philippi 2005-08-22, 7:57 am |
| Hello,
long Times ago on Engeneering School i used Fortran with some IBM
Machines (IBM 1130 and IBM 370 Fortran H). From this Time i found
some Forran Programs that use a Plotter as Output Device. On the
1130 there was integrated Plotter Subroutines and on the 370 there
was Subroutines they are written by the University's Personnel.
In the newer Day's i found some free Fortran Compilers like
Open Watcom, Salford personel and at last the old IBM 370 Compilers
that run under a 370 Emulator with the original IBM OS/VS2 MVS Operating
System. So I'm try to run that old Programs, i'm looking for Plotter
Subroutines. What i search are a Library that can build the Coordinate
Systems, writes Descriptions and Plots a Graph. Because i have Windows
Programs that show a HPGL File on the Screen and a real HPGL Plotter
(like a HP7475) so the HPGL Format is the best. I also owns a Callcomp
M84 so the Format of this Plotter is also ok. Does anybody knows where
i can download or get such a Library or Collection of Subroutines?
Thanks for Your Help

| Ther eare numerous such libraries available. I know the PLplot library
- http://plplot.sf.net.
Note: these libraries will bring up the plot on the screen and can also
be used to write the plot to a file for printing and other purposes.
(From your description I conclude that you are not quite up to date
with modern programming facilities - no criticism, just an observation
:))

If you're looking for classic Calcomp-style plotting routines, PLOT88
(from Plotworks, Inc) may be of use. It's a commercial product, with
built libraries (and support) costing several hundred dollars.
However...you can buy the source code, with no support and no copy
restrictions, for $75 or so.

There is a real nice shareware plotting program called DPlot at
www.dplot.com
It has a limited-time trial version so you can try it before buying. Once I
tried it, I couldn't send off my money fast enough.
DPlot can work as a stand-alone program or it can be linked with selected
compilers (Fortran and others).
