| Abstract | GPLOT can display a CGM graphics file onto a wide variety of screens, or convert a CGM file from one format to another. GPLOT is a robust program, which has been ported to many platforms. Versions of GPLOT are used to create animations on videotape at PSC. The DRAWCGM package, available from PSC, can be used to generate CGM graphics, although vendor packages such as NCARGKS, DISSPLA and DI3000 also can create CGM files. |
