PLOT: A Basic Plotting Routine for the Tektronix 4054 Terminal and 4663 Plotter.

Gauthier-Mayer,M D

Abstract

A BASIC plotting routine for the Tektronix 4054 terminal and 4663 plotter has been developed. It is named PLOT. The program is capable of plotting in a variety of coordinate systems - Cartesian, semilog on X, semilog on Y or log-log. Two separate Y axes can be used. The user can input the axes boundaries, axes titles, the block of data to be plotted, legends for the data, and a figure caption. Model equations can be represented by dashed lines on the plot. The program will accommodate up to 70 data sets, and a total of six data columns. The data can be manipulated by changing data points or sets, adding sets and columns, deleting sets or columns, sorting data in a column, generating columns from existing data and adding two data files together. This report is a working manual for the PLOT program. (Author)
