$Revision: 8.3 $ Jgraph takes the description of a graph or graphs in the standard input, and produces a postscript file on the standard output. Jgraph is ideal for plotting any mixture of scatter point graphs, line graphs, and/or bar graphs, and embedding the output into LaTeX, or any other text processing system which can read postscript. The graph description language is simple enough to get nice looking graphs with a minimum of effort, yet powerful enough to give the user the flexibility to tailor the appearance of the graph to his or her individual preferences. This includes plotting multiple graphs and laying them out separately on the page (or pages). The program is written in C, and shouldn't take anything too fancy or machine-dependent. It has been tested on DECstations, sun3's, and sparc's (and is being used on many other types of machines, including those running VMS and DOS). There is a makefile, a man page (in jgraph.1), source code, and example graphs. Jgraph is available via anonymous ftp to princeton.edu, in the file pub/jgraph.Z. This file is a compressed shell bundle file. Jgraph is also available from netlib, a mail archive server. To acquire jgraph from netlib, send a mail message to netlib@ornl.gov with nothing but the text: send jgraph.shar from misc It will respond by mailing you messages which comprise the file jgraph.shar. To extract jgraph.shar from these messages, first save each one into a file. Then for each of these files, strip off all the lines up to but not including the '#!/bin/sh' line. Then run /bin/sh on each file. When you're done, you should be left with the file jgraph.shar, upon which you then run /bin/sh -- this will produce all the jgraph source files. There is also a mailing list in which I inform users directly about bug fixes. This is for those who don't read comp.sources.misc, or those who would like to hear about minor bug fixes which I haven't posted as a patch to comp.sources.misc. Please send me comments and/or bug reports. Author: Jim Plank Email: jsp@princeton.edu USmail: Department of Computer Science Princeton University 35 Olden St. Princeton, NJ 08544-2087
