3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

EZVIDEO simulates a subset of the DISSPLA plotting package to make plots on the IBM PC screen. Screen dumps can also be made to an attached LaserJet or Epson printer to make hard copy without using terminal emulators. The forerunner of EZVIDEO was called EZPLOT.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The subroutines in the EZVIDEO system are based on the Hewlett Packard HP 9000 simulation of DISSPLA. These routines manipulate the pen movements on the screen and are also capable of capturing these same movements so that a hardcopy can be made to dot matrix or laser printer.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

For plotting on the IBM PC, the plotting emulator PCPLOT is needed.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The sample problem runs in about two minutes on the IBM PC/XT.

11. MACHINE REQUIREMENTS

EZVIDEO is operable on an IBM PC with at least 105k of memory.

PSR-0237/01

NEA-DB ran the test case on an IBM/80386 desktop computer. A 80x87 math co-processor and an EGA or VGA graphic screen is required.

13. OPERATING SYSTEM UNDER WHICH PROGRAM IS EXECUTED

Microsoft FORTRAN Version 3.31 or higher is required for compilation. The code was run at RSIC under PC DOS 3.1. PCPLOT and TEK terminal emulators are required for full implementation.

PSR-0237/01

NEA-DB compiled the source program with the Microsoft FORTRAN-5.0 compiler under MSDOS 4.01.
