| Title | DRAWCGM |
| Revision | 3.3 |
| Purpose | FORTRAN/C CGM graphics library |
| Package type | Subroutine library |
| Application area | Visualization |
| Abstract | DRAWCGM is a package of FORTRAN and C callable routines which create a CGM graphics metafile. Both cell array graphics and line drawings are supported. The current version includes the option to display the graphics directly, via X Window output. CGM files created by DRAWCGM can be displayed by the PSC program GPLOT. |

| Additional comments | DRAWCGM is not a full fledged graphics package. It does not include contour plotting, 3D graphics and other such features. However, it is ideal for the creation of animations involving data arrays, or line based graphics. The PSC has several videotapes available of animations done using DRAWCGM. |
