DISLIN is a high-level data plotting library
DISLIN is a high-level library of subroutines and functions that display data graphically. It is intended to become a powerful and straightforward to use software package with regard to programmers and scientists that does not require understanding of hardware features. The program 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 sorts are VGA, X Windows, Windows API and Tektronix. The supported file types are GKSLIN, CGM, HPGL, PostScript, PDF, SVG, WMF, PNG and TIFF. The library contains the pursuing features:
- 9 software fonts where each font provides 6 alphabets. Hardware fonts for PostScript ink jet printers, X11 fonts for X11 displays and TrueType fonts for Windows 95/98/NT displays and WMF files may also be used. The different aphabets consist of Roman, Greek, Russian, numerical and special European figures. Plotting of mathematical formulations 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 types.
- 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 with regard to lines, vectors and layed out or filled regions such as rectangles, circles, arcs, ellipses and polygons.
-- Shielded regions can become 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.
