- Version 6.0 Of jgraph is finished.
-
- For those that don't know, jgraph is a program which
- takes the description of a graph or graphs in the standard
- input, and produces a postscript file on the standard output. Jgraph
- is ideal for plotting any mixture of scatter point graphs, line
- graphs, and/or bar graphs, and embedding the output into LaTeX, or
- any other text processing system which can read postscript.
-
- There is a mailing list for jgraph users to which I periodically
- send minor bug fixes. Since the last patch to comp.sources.misc,
- jgraph has gone through the following revisions:
-
- 5.1: Fixed a bug in hash label precisions.
- 5.2: Made the man page more universally readable,
- Added some files to make life easier for VMS users.
- 5.3: Added more linetypes: dotdash, longdash, etc, as
- well as a general linetype mechanism. Also put
- exit(0) into the code.
- 5.4: Added a newpage command for multi-page graphs.
- 5.5: Added clipping, so that points outside the axes
- don't get printed. Updated the first line of
- output to the more general "%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2"
- 6.0: Added arrowheads on curve lines.
- Added the ability to do grids.
- Added a bbox command for the user to specify a bounding box.
- Added gray scale on axes and lines.
-
- If you'd like to be on the jgraph bug fix list, please
- send me email. And please let me know of bug reports,
- suggestions and comments.
-
- The most recent version of jgraph is always available
- via anonymous ftp from princeton.edu in the file pub/jgraph.Z.
- This is a compressed shell file. To unpack it, first
- get it using ftp (first type "binary" before doing the get),
- and then do "zcat jgraph.Z | sh".
-
- The patch in the file patch.6 is from revision 5.0, posted
- to comp.sources.misc in May. If you can't do the ftp
- or get the patch to work, send me email, and I'll mail
- you the sources.
-
- Take it easy,
