This disk contains files for 4 separate modules: 1.REGLIB.OBJ - a library of FORTRAN IV-callable subroutines (emulating the CALCOMP plotting subroutines) that allows graphics code using CALCOMP routines to be viewed on REGIS devices.There is minor color support (VT241) as I haven't figured out how to use more (there are 4 output RAM locations only). 2.HPLIB.OBJ - a library of FORTRAN IV-callable subroutines (emulating the CALCOMP plotting subroutines) that allows graphics code using CALCOMP routines to be viewed on HP devices. The code uses the basic HP-GL syntax (it was written for a 9872C plotter) but has been tested on a 7475A model (DEC LVP16). So it should drive any devices supporting the HP-GL language, but the code can easily be optimized for the newer firmware versions such as circle,arc and fill commands. 3.MULPLT.SAV - an image file that acts as a user interface between the user and any device using the FORTRAN-IV CALCOMP type graphics subroutines. It is menu driven and allows the user to establish plotting conditions such as graph type(line,bar,or pie),line and symbol type,plot origin, axis length and type(log or linear), shading type,and pen number(color). Plotting of multiple data sets is supported and the files of plotting commands can easily be created for remote transmission purposes. 4.CALNDR.COM - an indirect command file written entirely in IND language that used the VT100 line drawing set to generate a calender of the current month,highlighting the current day. The user can also preview any other future month. The fortran code was written using FORTRAN IV v.2.6,under TSX-Plus v.6.01/and or RT-11 v.5.3. on a PDP 11/73 based system (Q-bus). The code was tested for graphics output on the following devices: VT241,VT125,LA50,LN03 - REGIS 9872C,7475A - HP-GL Because of the VT125-VT240/VT241 differences you might need to make several modes to the subroutine PLOT. Everything else seems to work ok,like circles, arcs and text. Only the positions are different. If anyone is interested, I have a similar library for Houston Instruments DMP-IV protocol (eg.for DMP-29 plotters,etc.) which was obtained free from the old DMP LUG at HI. I have not included it with this disk (I guess I should get some kind of OK from HI (it's not proprietry info) even though I've made several mods). Installation Procedure All command files have been written in IND syntax so if you don't have,make your own mods. REGLIB - all source has the extension .REG. Copy all the *.COM files to your destination device. Then type in IND REGAI. This is the automatic installation file. All appropriate files are copied from DY: to DK:(you might need to modify this). This file will compile all the code,build the library and draw a pretty picture on the screen. HPLIB - ibid but type in IND HPAI (all source ends in .HP). Plota sends output to LUN 6 so do the appropriate ASS DEV 6. MULPLT - 2 separate version are generated,REGPLT and HPLT. I haven't had time yet to generate a file from the main menu which can be directed to separate files. Use IND REGPLT and IND HPLT to generate the 2 versions. CALNDR - just type IND CALNDR and see what happens.(It's slow for some of the earlier processors.) There are 2 documentation files (again written in IND), REGDOC.COM and PLTDOC.COM. REGDOC gives a brief description of all the subroutines (which themselves contain extensive documentation) and gives examples on the REGIS device. PLTDOC works you through MULPLT (REGPLT/HPLT/DMPLT) with several of the example data files.
