Etymology

Nothing special.

Synopsis

This module is (as of June 1995) a work in progress. It contains a PGPLOT wrapper and a test program, and nothing else.

Caution: This module header file does not yet play the traditional role -- of allowing the application programmer to gain a lot of capability with only one include statement.

Example

See tVisualize.cc.

Motivation

The benefits of graphical display of data are many, and well-known.\..

To Do

• Replace (or improve) the PGPLOT wrapper.
• Once the (device-independent) Plot1d interface settles down, move it from the trial package to here.
• We may wish to create subdirectories of the Graphics directory, each containing window-system-specific implementations of the interfaces defined in the directory. Site makedef's could trigger automatic linking against the appropriate window-system-specific library.
