110777 MULPLT: A Multiple File Plotting Program Version: January 1985 Author: T. V. Atkinson and Hugh Gregg, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI Submitted by: Hugh Gregg, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI Operating System: RSX-11M V3.2 or later, RSX-11M-PLUS V2.0 or later Source Language: FORTRAN IV, MACRO-11 Memory Required: 32KW Hardware Required: Graphics Device: Tektronix 4010 equivalent, GIGI, HP7470, P300 printer, LA50, PRISM or similar device(s) Keywords: Graphics, Plotting, Scientific Applications Abstract: MULPLT is a multiple file plotting program designed to allow the easy plotting of scientific data. It allows for up to 10 data files, scaling and offsetting, linear or log axes, bar graphs and multiple character fonts derived from the Hershey characters. All features of MULPLT may be used independantly, accessed by the "special features" options. Current additions to MULPLT include the use of color on those devices that support it, new command files and overlay structure supporting a coroutine for VECTOR (so all devices are built into MULPLT), and several bug fixes. All graphical output of MULPLT is directed through one subroutine, VECTOR. VECTOR currently supports the following devices: . TEKTRONIX 4010 series terminals . VT100's with : Retrographics, Matrox, Selanar . Digital Equipment Corporation's GIGI . HP's 7470 series plotters . Grinnell systems GMR 37 Additions to this list are easy - use one of the existing subroutines as a template and create your own graphics driver. MULPLT writes only to vector oriented devices or to a file. RASTER is able to read these files and is primarily a vector to raster conversion program, but is also capable of scaling and offsetting several plots as generated by MULPLT, for creating banners wider than the line printer or putting several plots on a single page. RASTER takes MULPLT vector files and creates raster images suitable for line printers. Currently supported raster devices are: . Printronix P300 . Prism printers . Digital Equipment Corporation's LA50 Restrictions: Circular Dimension special feature not working. Media (Service Charge Code): 2400' Magnetic Tape (PA) Format: FILES-11
