Abstract

The INTERPOL (Interactive Plotting for Off-Line systems) program has been written to incorporate the necessary routines required for general purpose two-dimensional and three-dimensional (x, y) data plotting. The interactive format of the program reduces the typical three-step planning, writing, and debugging process to an efficient, single-step question and answer execution. The plotting routines employed are standard Cal Comp FORTRAN sub-programs for off-line Cal Comp pen plotters. Driver routines and miscellaneous I/O routines all use standard FORTRAN. This program may be used with TTY and CRT type terminals. Foreknowledge of computer plotting techniques is not necessary, although some experience may be helpful.
