Computerized art plotting system. II. Two-dimensional graphs
Computers have been able to create graphs for many years, but their aesthetics have generally been ignored. As a result, although computer-generated graphs have been used extensively in test reports and other data-oriented publications, authors have had to turn to technical illustrators for a product suitable for formal presentation. The program described in this report was specifically designed to fill this gap. Entering format information and data on a Tektronix 4014 terminal, the user can create, correct, and store two-dimensional graphs with up to nine curves on rectangular, semilog, and log-log coordinates. Hard copies can be obtained in the form of prints from a Tektronix 4631 or 35-mm film from the computer. From the film, high-quality prints, slides, and projection transparencies can be made. 3 figures.
