Overview
Introduction
DISLIN is a high level library of subroutines and functions that display
data graphically. It is intended to be a powerful and easy to use software
package for programmers and scientists that does not require knowledge of
hardware features. The software is available for the programming languages
C, Fortran 77 and Fortran 90/95. For some operating systems, the languages
Perl, Python, Java and the C/C++ interpreter Ch are also supported.
DISLIN can display graphic information directly on graphic terminals or
store them in metafiles. The supported display types are VGA, X Windows,
Windows API, OpenGL and Tektronix. The supported file formats are GKSLIN, CGM,
HPGL, PostScript, PDF, WMF, SVG, PNG, BMP, PPM, GIF and TIFF. DISLIN
metafiles can either be printed on various devices using the DISLIN driver
program DISDRV or imported into third party products such as TeX and
MS Word.
The library contains the following features:
- 9 software fonts where each font provides 6 alphabets. PostScript
fonts for PostScript, PDF and SVG output, X11 fonts for X terminals
and TrueType fonts for Windows displays and WMF files can also be
used.The different aphabets contain Roman, Greek, Russian,
mathematical and special European characters.
TeX instructions can be used for plotting mathematical formulas.
- Plotting of two- and three-dimensional axis systems.
Axes can be linearly or logarithmically scaled and labeled with
linear, logarithmic, time, date, map and user-defined formats.
- Plotting of curves. Several curves can
appear in one axis system and can be differentiated by colour,
line style and pattern. Multiple axis system can be displayed
on a page.
- Plotting of legends.
- Elementary plot routines for lines, vectors and outlined or
filled regions such as rectangles, circles, arcs,
ellipses and polygons.
- Shielded regions can be defined.
- Business graphics.
- 3-D colour graphics.
- 3-D graphics.
- Elementary image routines.
- Geographical projections and plotting of maps.
- Contouring.
- Graphical user interface (GUI) routines based on Motif and Windows
API functions.
Manuals in English are available in the online help of DISLIN, or can
be downloaded in HTML format.
A printed book of Dislin can be ordered from
Amazon.de, or directly from the
author.
