slides - interpretative graphics language utilizing <PLOT79> routines.
slides[1,4,b,r,s,v,z]
where the final character indicates the desired output device
(4 for the Tektronix 4014 in the default Sun installation)
(see plot79 manual page for complete list)
Slides
is an interpreter which allows rapid interactive access to the graphics
routines of the
<PLOT79> graphics package, with no programming required.
It can be invoked by itself, or it can function as a filter, by which
means a command file can be passed in using input redirection.
The plottable output is sent to a file named by the CRT environment variable,
or to CRT.num if CRT is undefined
(num is a number which begins at 1 and is
incremented appropriately to prevent files being overwritten).
Users with little computer experience may prefer to start with
drawit,
the menu-driven front-end for <PLOT79>.
Other users may prefer to link the <PLOT79> routines into their own main
C or FORTRAN programs, or to use the pre-written programs grapht,
graph3t, or piechtt. Slides allows plot files created
by these programs to be further processed, for example, to add
additional labels.
The program rdinfo provides further documentation on slides.
