DESCRIPTION

Xprism2 is a 2D plotting package for use independently or with other parts of Khoros. It features 2D, Discrete, Bar Graph, Polymarker and Linemarker 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 XY pairs or as Y 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, and translated. Fonts, colors, axes, marker types, line types, plot types, and titles can be changed. Plot information can be saved implicitly or explicitly in Khoros Image File Format. Output may be sent to Postscript, Imagen, or LNO3 laser printers, or to an HPGL plotter.
