Software For Generating Graphs And Charts

Common Graphics Library (CGL) computer program designed to enable users to generate graphs and charts of quality sufficient for publication or optical projection. Quickly and easily generates linear, logarithmic, bar, pie, and composite charts. Features of linear charts include automatic scaling, increasing or decreasing numerical axes, and character axes. Features of pie charts include segment labels, exploded segments, and chart keys. One of general features, horizontal or vertical orientation of figures. Written in ANSI FORTRAN 77.

Common Graphics Library (CGL). Volume 1: LEZ user's guide

Users are introduced to and instructed in the use of the Langley Easy (LEZ) routines of the Common Graphics Library (CGL). The LEZ routines form an application independent graphics package which enables the user community to view data quickly and easily, while providing a means of generating scientific charts conforming to the publication and/or viewgraph process. A distinct advantage for using the LEZ routines is that the underlying graphics package may be replaced or modified without requiring the users to change their application programs. The library is written in ANSI FORTRAN 77, and currently uses a CORE-based underlying graphics package, and is therefore machine independent, providing support for centralized and/or distributed computer systems.
