Scigraph Scientific Graphing Package

Scigraph is a an object-oriented library for doing x-vs-y plots.  It can be
embedded in other applications.  Scigraph's functionality includes scatter
plots, linear plots, bar charts, contour plots, and symbolic equations.
Scatter, linear, and bar plots are fast and reliable.  It runs in Dynamic
Windows and every version of CLIM under Symbolics, Allegro, Lucid, and MCL.
Graphs and data points are mouse-sensitive.  You may either interactively
or programmatically control zooming, annotating, setting colors and
symbols, and the usual features you would expect.

Scigraph is available via anonymous ftp from cambridge.apple.com
in the directory pub/clim/clim-1-and-2/scigraph.

There are three subdirectories to this directory, scigraph, dwim, and
contrib.

Scigraph, contains the main body of the source code.  This source code
looks a lot like dynamic windows because that is where the system grew up.
Documentation for scigraph, including how to compile and load it, is in
scigraph/scigraph.doc.

Dwim, contains a set of utilities for scigraph that make the various lisps
compatible and make every version of CLIM look like dynamic windows.  DWIM
can be thought of as a thin layer of syntax that buffers Scigraph from the
winds of CLIM change.

Contrib, is where users may contribute patches and extensions to Scigraph.
We may periodically peek in this directory to merge contributions into the
main source code.

There is also a compressed tar file, scigraph.tar.Z, containing a copy of
the above files.

Questions and comments should be addressed to the authors.
