James S. Plank · 1993
Jgraph is a non-interactive filter for plotting two-dimensional scatter, line, and bar graphs in PostScript. It has also been used as a general-purpose drawing utility. Jgraph's strengths lie in its portability, flexibility, and integration into the UNIX environment. Jgraph is free software available on netlib or by anonymous ftp. Introduction Scientists in all disciplines frequently need to display information graphically on a variety of highquality output devices. However, there is no standard tool on the UNIX platform that achieves this purpose. Although many software packages exist to facilitate plotting graphs, they all have limitations. Some are only available on certain machines; some can only be integrated into certain text processing systems; some require specific data formats; some are available only as part of colossal computing environments. Jgraph attempts to provide a simple, yet flexible and powerful graph-plotting package. It is a filter that takes a description of a ...
