Title: Documentation for DIGLIB: Device Independent Graphics Library

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6791140

DIGLIB (Device Independent Graphics LIBrary) is a collection of FORTRAN callable subroutines designed with the following goals: (1) easily usable by the casual graphics programmer for 2D plotting; (2) device independent (as much as possible); (3) small and reasonably fast; (4) device drivers are as simple as possible, and therefore easy to write, and device drivers may be written in FORTRAN when desired; (5) maintainable; (6) compatible with RT-11, RSX-11M, IAS, and VMS; and (7) compatible with MACRO, FORTRAN, F4P, FORTRAN-77, and OMSI PASCAL. DIGLIB comes very close to meeting all of the above design goals. Maintainability has been enhanced by using the INCLUDE feature of FORTRAN-IV-PLUS. Compatibility with RT-11 has been maintained by writing a FORTRAN-IV-PLUS to FORTRAN-IV conversion program. Compatibility with OMSI PASCAL has been maintained by avoiding any FORTRAN I/O. Drivers are available for a variety of devices under RSX-11M, TSX, RT-11 and VMS. These include Tektronix 4000 series terminals, Retro-Graphics enhancements to several terminal types, HP 26xx terminals, and plotters.
