Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

Program SORTNGO sorts a matrix to give the best overall agreement between nearest neighboring numbers. Graphic, alphanumeric output of the matrix on a paper printer allows on-line inspection of the sort. The sorted and unsorted matrices can be output on a Tektronix printer or FR-80 film as informative, black-and-white graphics suitable for publication. Further to aid in presenting the sorted data, a color display of the matrix is available with the FR-80 option. This is especially helpful for visually grouping the data. Compiled programs are available. 11 figures.
