DISLIN for Absoft Pro Fortran
-
Version
8.3
DISLIN is a high-level library of subroutines and
functions that display data graphically. It is
intended to be a powerful and easy to use software
package for programmers and scientists that does not
require knowledge of hardware features. The software is
available for the programming languages C, Fortran 77,
Fortran 90, Perl, Python and Java. DISLIN can display
graphic information directly on graphic terminals or
store them in metafiles. The supported display types
are VGA, X Windows, Windows API and Tektronix. The
supported file formats are GKSLIN, CGM, HPGL,
PostScript, PDF, Prescribe, WMF, PNG and TIFF. The
library contains the following features:
- 9 software fonts where each font provides 6
alphabets. Hardware fonts for PostScript printers,
X11 fonts for X11 displays and TrueType fonts for
Windows 95/98/NT displays and WMF files can also be
used. The different aphabets contain Roman, Greek,
Russian, mathematical and special European
characters. Plotting of mathematical formulas with
TeX instructions.
- Plotting of two- and three-dimensional axis
systems. Axes can be linearly or logarithmically
scaled and labeled with linear, logarithmic, date,
time, map and user-defined formats.
- Plotting of curves. Several curves can appear in
one axis system and can be differentiated by colour,
line style and pattern. Multiple axis systems can be
displayed on a page.
- Plotting of legends.
- Elementary plot routines for lines, vectors and
outlined or filled regions such as rectangles, circles,
arcs, ellipses and polygons.
- Shielded regions can be defined.
- Business graphics.
- 3-D colour graphics.
- 3-D graphics.
- Elementary image routines.
- Geographical projections and plotting of maps.
- Contouring.
- Graphical user interface (GUI) routines based on
Motif and Windows API functions.
- English manuals in PostScript, PDF and HTML format
are available.
