GraFig 0.0 is a "trial balloon" program which creates very simple
graphs from numerical data. It is completely rigid in its operation,
with NO options or features. I am distributing it for several reasons:
1) To find out whether there is a need for a fancier
version of such a program in the user community.
2) To find out what the important features of such
a program would be.
3) To demonstrate how easy it is to write a small
program which produces graphics in the form of Fig code.
(GraFig 0.0 took only several hours to write).
I am interested in hearing back from ANY user who is interested in
this program, even (especially) if you cannot use it because of lack
of features. I am considering development of a much fancier tool
for the analysis/plotting of data, with an interactive graphical
interface.
Please note: the output of GraFig can be edited using any of the
existing versions of Fig, so you can do a lot of pretty-ing up
of the graphs by hand. This program is meant to be minimal, in
order to get design suggestions for a more mature version.

Update 3/15/89
The GnuTeX version of the GnuPlot numerical plotting program can now
generate Fig code. Thus, it has many features one would want in a more
mature version of GraFig. GnuTeX is available via anonymous TFP
from duke.cs.duke.edu. For more information about GnuTeX, contact
David Kotz (dfk@cs.duke.edu).
