Hi,
This is WinGnuPlot, a MUIbased GnuPlot Terminaldriver.
A documentation does do exists (yet?), you should be familiar with the 'old'
Gnuplot, but here are some basic instructions,:
Start the supplied GnuPlot first, the normal, old amiga driver is named
'amigascreen', then new driver 'amigawindow'. If necassary, you should choose
the new driver by 'set term amigawindow'. The plotprogramm itself 'WinPlot'
is started by the first plot command, e.g. 'plot sin(x)' oder by the command
'clear'. Now start to play with the GUI.
System Requirements :
Kick2.1, but 3.x is recommended
(Attention, you will need some Outlinefonts in your FONTS: directory)
MUI 2.0 (see MUI.readme for details)
ARexx
A highres graphicscard (1024x768 or better) is recommended ;-)
If you want to compile the sources, you will need SAS/C 6.50 or better, and
the original GnuPlot sources. Due to the size of the GnuPlot sources, I have
included only the patches to GnuPlot 3.5. You should find theses sources on
any better FTP-server or BBS. The patches are in standard UN*X patch format.
History:
V0.95 -- First public release on Friday 22-10-1993,
-got lost on wuarchive :-(
V1.0 -- Second try on Friday 29-10-1993
-fixed some bugs !
-changed the message handling,
plottings gets a speed factor of two :-)
-splitted the edit-window to several panels
V1.1 -- Tuesday 02-11-1993
-some memory cleanup, should save some kbytes.
-all gadgets have context sensitive online help now !
-you can use the keyboard for most of the gadgets !
-The choosen outlinefont and edit-page are saved by
MUIM_Application_Save to ENVARC: on program exit.
The environment variable GNUOUTLINE is obsolete !
V1.2 -- Monday 14-02-1994
-Recompiled using SAS/C 6.51
-many small bug fixes, don't know the details anymore
-some GUI cosmetic changes, due to better MUI understanding :-)
-some memory checkings during plot
-you can edit of user defined functions and variables by edit-window
-color-requester for pen-colors (sorry, no saving yet!)
Attention, this requester is not very userfull for 2.1 users
-menus
-due to arrival of MUI2.0, some cleanups in the Notification
processing. (Thanks Stefan for implementing MUIA_NoNotify !).
The edit-window is now a RegisterGroup, which looks very nice.
V2.0 -- Sunday 22-05-1994 (Burlafingen Amiga-Meeting)
-again some small bugfixes
-major cleanup of source
-applied gnufit patch to gnuplot, please take documentation from
the original gnufit distribution. Sorry no GUI support yet !
-WinPlot now supports several plotwindows - just give it a try
-found major bug in font-selecting routine
-changes in configfiles, please delete your WinPlot.cfg file
V2.1 -- Sunday 19-06-1994
-fixed some ARexx handling code, now you can use " and ' for
labels, text etc.
STILL TODO
-- A better documentation (TeXInfo, AmigaGuide ?)
-- Better error handling -- be careful I'm lasy
-- Placement of labels using the mouse
More Ideas ??
