This code is essentially XGraph release 11.4, with some modifications which were made for use by the NCSA Relativity group. These modifications were made by Paul Walker, and he should be contacted at the below address if you have any problems/questions regarding these features. 1. Animation. XGraph will now do a *very* crude animation of your data sets. It occasionally has problems with refreshes and will consequently run your animation three of four times. Consider this an undocumented feature! You can adjust the speed of the animation with the -dl option. I find "2" works well on a sparc displaying on MacX, "5" on a sparc on its own display, and "10" on an SGI or RS6K on its own display. Remeber, this animation is not being advertised as anything other than very crude, so if you are looking for production quality video, turn elsewhere. We find it useful as it will quickly generate animation which shows time evolution. 2. Differentation. You can press the "Derivative" button to see the first and second derivatives of your data set. The method is a standard centered difference. You cannot display higher than second derivatives. Animation, zooming, etc... work in each of the derivative windows. Endpoints are found linearly interpolating inner values to ends, so pay them little heed! 3. New Color Map. We couldn't differentiate the colors once we got past yellow, so we created a new color map. If you don't like it, look in init.c for the variable "defColors" and comment out the new one, replacing it with the commented old one. Of course, you are free to insert your own choices here also ... Just use standard X color names. These modifications were made by Paul Walker, and distributed with the Original author's consent.

Springfield Ave Champaign IL 61820 pwalker@ncsa.uiuc.edu ================================================================= 1. Bug fixes -- there were a few. Surface plotting works again. Added a bunch of assert statements to catch possible problems. Probably we could use more. 2. Can plot 1000 data sets rather than 112. A bug fix was needed to make this happen. An output message occurs every 25 sets so that you can see loading progress. 3. Improved naming: Long file names get truncated now. Also, all data sets in file x will not simply be named "x". They will now have the set number appended in parenthesis. 4. Compiles quietly on IRIX. I haven't updated any other platform. 5. If you use the -m option and resize the screen, the old points are now cleared away. Steve Brandt brandt@aei-potsdam.mpg.de =================================================================
