PSR-0354 FASTPLOT 1.0.

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  FASTPLOT 1.0

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

FASTPLOT is a library of
routines that can be used to interface with the Microsoft FORTRAN Graphics library (GRAPHICS.LIB). The FASTPLOT routines simplify the development of graphics applications and add capabilities such as histograms, splines, symbols, and error bars. FASTPLOT also includes routines that can be used to create menus.

4. METHODS

  FASTPLOT is a library of routines which must be linked with a user's FORTRAN programs that call any FASTPLOT routines. In addition, the user must link with the Microsoft FORTRAN Graphics library (GRAPHICS.LIB).

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM:  None noted

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The FASTPLOT routines are called from user programs to the FASTPLOT library which is linked with user programs. Run time is largely dependent on processor, bus, qualities of a given VGA adapter, and the way in which the routines are used within a user program.

The FASTPLOT package was installed in a PC DELL OptiPlex GXPro, equipped with a Pentium PRO processor of 200 MHz, total memory 64 MB, running Windows NT 4.00. The demonstration program provided with the package is menu-driven; however most of the options available take at most a few tenths of a second to execute. The same applies to the six tutorial programs provided.

11. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

FASTPLOT  requires an  IBM  PC  or compatible with a VGA monitor.

The FASTPLOT package was installed in a PC DELL OptiPlex GXPro, equipped with a Pentium PRO processor of 200 MHz, total memory 64 MB, running Windows NT 4.00. Less than 2 MB of diskspace are required to hold the package files.

13. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The Microsoft FORTRAN v5.1 compiler was used to build the object and sample executable files included in this package.

The FASTPLOT demonstration program and other executable files provided within the FASTPLOT package were executed under DOS (Windows NT 4.00). The tutorial programs provided with the package were compiled and linked using the Microsoft Fortran-77 compiler (Version 5.10) and Linker (Version 5.15).
The Microsoft Fortran-77 library of graphics routines (GRAPHICS.LIB) must be linked with the users programs calling FASTPLOT routines. Therefore, the installation of the Microsoft Fortran-77 compiler system is necessary for users developping their codes using the FASTPLOT package and associated library.
