DESCRIPTION
     is a 3D plotting package for use independently or with other
     parts of Khoros.  It features 3D, mesh, contour, surface,
     color mesh, impulse and Scatter Plots. There are many ways
     to input data -- image files, files with functions or data
     points, and functions entered from the keyboard.  The data
     format may be represented as XYZ triples or as Z data only.
     For raw data files, the standard data types of Byte, Short,
     Integer, or Float may be selected.  In addition, the machine
     type may be selected to indicate the data ordering from the
     machine on which the data was created.  This allows the user
     to make use of raw data files created on a variety of other
     machines.

     Displayed plots can be scaled, rotated, translated, and the
     view perspective can be changed.. Fonts, colors, axes,
     marker types, line types, plot types, and titles can be
     changed. Plot information can be saved implicitly or expli-
     citly in Khoros Image File Format. Output may be sent to
     Postscript, Imagen, or LNO3 laser printers, or to an HPGL
     plotter.
