FROM THE MANPAGES:
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION:
|
|
PLOTMTV is a fast and convenient X11 program for visual-
|
|
ization of scientific data. The program reads in data in
|
|
the MTVDAT format and plots each dataset in the data-file
|
|
in turn. Each plot comes with a simple but functional
|
|
Graphical User Interface, which allows users to zoom in or
|
|
pan to areas of interest on the plot, or to toggle between
|
|
2D and 3D plots. The plots may then be sent directly to a
|
|
grayscale or color PostScript printer for hard-copy out-
|
|
put.
|
|
|
|
PLOTMTV's capabilities include 2D line and scatter plots
|
|
(x-vs-y), contour plots, 3D surface, line and scatter
|
|
plots as well as vector plots. The Graphical User Inter-
|
|
face allows interactive zoom and pan, toggling between 2D
|
|
and 3D plots, rotating 3D plots, and some (limited) cus-
|
|
tomization of the resultant plots. Through the GUI, one
|
|
can also print the plot using the "Print" button, or save
|
|
the Postscript plot to a file using the "Print to File"
|
|
button. Both color and grayscale postscript output are
|
|
supported.

PORT TO LINUX:

--------------
|
|
|
|
Michael Klemme, klemme@uni-paderborn.de, 18.7.1993
|
|
for X11R5 and Linux 0.99.pl4-62.
|
|
All changes that were necessary are marked with "<mkl>".
|
|
There are two packets:
|
|
- plotmtv-1.31.bin.tar.z: the plotmtv binary , the man page and the
|
|
documentation subdirectory
|
|
- plotmtv-1.31.src.tar.z: the sources as I used them to compile for
|
|
LINUX
|
|
The original sources can be found on various ftp servers (e.g.
|
|
ftp.uni-paderborn.de).
|
|
|
|
I did not manage to get the rubberband for zooming into plots to work.
|
|
The Postscript output remains untested, since I do not have a
|
|
Postscript printer; ghostview refused to display both the ps output of
|
|
my implementation and the implementation of the SUNs at school.
