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.
