1.1       root        1: .TI F77/PLOTTING "Sep. 15, 1984"
                      2: Plotting and Graphics
                      3: 
                      4: The Fortran callable graphics routines are described in "man 3f plot".
                      5: These are primitive routines for plotting points, lines, arcs,
                      6: and text.  They are designed to work with graphics terminals.
                      7: 
                      8: From Fortran, printer plots can be made using several IMSL subroutines
                      9: in chapter U of the IMSL manual.  Those routines print horizontal
                     10: and vertical histograms and graph functions.
                     11: 
                     12: The UNIX graph command (see "man 1g graph") reads data from a file to
                     13: plot points and lines and can be used with the same
                     14: devices as the basic plotting routines mentioned above.
                     15: 
                     16: S, a statistical package available on some UNIX systems,
                     17: includes some graphics capabilities. 
                     18: 
                     19: One way to use graph or S is to run the Fortran program
                     20: writing the output to a file and then run the graphics package.
                     21: The graphics packages can also be run reading the output of the
                     22: Fortran program from a pipe.
                     23: Another way is to call the package at appropriate times during
                     24: the execution of the Fortran program using the subroutine system(), as in:
                     25: 
                     26: .nf
                     27:       open(8,file='plotin')
                     28:          ... code writing to file plotin
                     29:       close(8)
                     30:       call system('graph plotin | plot -T4014')
                     31: .fi
                     32: 
                     33: For up to date information on graphics facilities, see the consultants.
