StarPlot - Copyright (C) 2000, 2001 Kevin B. McCarty <kmccarty@princeton.edu> Web page: http://www.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/starplot.html DESCRIPTION StarPlot is a GTK-based program, written in C++, which can be used interactively to view three-dimensional perspective charts of stars. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License. If you find StarPlot useful, or want to submit a bug report, feature request or patch, please drop me an email! CONTENTS This directory should include the following files: README This file. INSTALL Instructions for installing StarPlot. COPYING The GNU GPL, version 2. Makefile Top-level Makefile; edit variables if necessary. See INSTALL for more information. version.h Defines current StarPlot version. classes/ Contains base classes for StarPlot. These classes are GUI-agnostic. convert/ Contains source code for the starconvert utility. gui/ Contains the StarPlot user interface. These classes require GTK version 1.2. data/ Contains StarPlot example data files. doc/ Contains HTML documentation and man pages. INSTALLATION For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. For documentation about how to use the program, see the HTML pages in the doc directory. These pages will be installed to the directory /usr/local/share/doc/starplot (unless you edit the Makefile to put it somewhere else). DATA FILES StarPlot comes with only two small example data files. This (a) makes it easier to download, and (b) reduces the need to worry about copyright issues within the program source tree. Other data files can be downloaded and installed from the StarPlot web page. Please read the copyright information in the COPYING and README files of those data sets. SPECIAL NOTE I would like to thank my brother Jason for working with me on programming StarPlot with a GUI written in C++, back when we were still playing with it on Windows 95/NT. This was a vast improvement over the original QBASIC version I wrote in high school. If anyone wants to see the QBASIC version, I still have the file ;)
