NAME
sciplot - Sci_Plot X widget
SYNOPSIS
sciplot
DESCRIPTION
A full-featured Xt widget to display 2D data in a graph. It is
intended to display scientific data, and can format the data in polar
or cartesian plots (log axes available for cartesian plots).
OVERVIEW
The SciPlot Widget is a widget capable of plotting cartesian or polar
graphs, including logarithmic axes in cartesian plots. The widget is
subclassed directly from the Core widget class, which means that it
does not depend upon any other widget set. It may be freely used with
Athena, Motif, or the Open Look/Xview widget sets. (There is optional
Motif support that causes the widget to be subclassed from
XmPrimitive.
FEATURES
<p>Features provided in the widget include automatic scaling, legend
drawing, axis labeling, PostScript output, multiple plotted lines,
color support, user font specification, dashed lines, symbols drawn at
points, logarithmic scales on one or both axes in cartesian plots, and
degrees or radians as angles in polar plots.
