MAPPER is a front-end program for DISSPLA from Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. This Manual is a copy of LASL Program Library Write-Up J5AJ which has been revised to be consistent with the version of MAPPER installed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. MAPPER is an easy-to-learn program designed to make report-quality visual aids. The user with no previous programming experience can produce presentation slides, graphs, charts, tables, and maps on both color and black and white 35-mm microfilm, Tektronix terminals, and Versatec, Applicon and CalComp plotters. MAPPER can also be used to make 35- and 16-mm color or black and white movies. MAPPER reads English language based command files that the user has generated. An interactive editor, MAPEDIT, allows Tektronix users to add features on the scope and to have the additions automatically added to the command file. A Tektronix Graphics Tablet can be used to generate MAPPER command files directly via TABLET. MAPPER can draw boxes, circles, ellipses, and complex line segments in a wide variety of line format characteristics. There are six types of label commands and twelve lettering styles to cover the spectrum of labeling requirements. Label options include manual sizing and locations, two forms of automatic sizing and location, flexible string control, label rotation, justification control, and multiple line capabilities. The user has a choice of color control through the use of different commands, and special features permit selective shading of specific areas. Symbols may be defined, located, scaled, distorted, and shaded as desired. Axes, curves and error bars may be drawn. Additional features include various logos, skipping, multilevel rotating projection ports, contouring, three types of file subroutining, movie generating commands, and FORTRAN support capabilities.
