QuickPlot - A simple screen (and PostScript printer) plotting tool for the NeXT computer. Copyright 1990 Fred Richards. The software in this directory is distributed free of charge and without a warranty of any kind. The source code may distributed freely as long as it is accompanied by this copyright notice. QuickPlot is a simple plotting tool meant to provide easy 2-D plotting of ASCII data files. Files are assumed to contain two columns of ASCII numbers (integers of floating-point values), where the columns should be separated by a TAB or SPACE character. This tool was written using the NeXT Interface Builder tool, and consequently provides a fairly simple example of how to use the interface tool. It also provides a simple introduction to the PostScript graphics language. To Build the tool simply type 'make' from the current directory and the rest should be done automatically. To install the tool, copy the file 'QuickPlot' to '/LocalApps' or to '~/Apps' in your home directory and then use the 'Find Applications' panel item from the 'Utilities' panel in the Workspace menu. QuickPlot should then have its own icon. Note that QuickPlot is not intended to produce publication-quality plots, but rather is meant to be a fast and simple means of graphically displaying data. Feel free to add options to the tool to suit your needs. If you have useful comments or suggestions you can send them to fcr@complex.ccsr.uiuc.edu If you modify QuickPlot in ways that you think might be useful to me or to others then please let me know also. Always include the release number (from the Info panel) in all correspondence. Fred Richards Dept. of Physics at the University of Illinois CCSR @ Beckman Institute 405 N.
