#ident "@(#)VOGLE:driver/gnu.c - VOGLE driver for GNU plotutil 'plot' format" #ident "@(#)VOGLE:author : John S. Urban" #ident "@(#)VOGLE:version : 1.0" /* Need a very simple ASCII meta-file for long-term (40-year) retention. Instead of reinventing the wheel, using a subset of the GNU Plotutils plot(1) metafile format. The very simple very low-level ASCII file produced is o easily parsed at a later time to recreate plot images in the future o allows access to a preexisting metafile reader (plot(1)) that supports formats currently not directly supported by VOGLE such as animated pseudo-gif files and encapsulated PostScript and WebCGM. If you already have ghostview(1) and display(1) or xv(1) or netpbm(1) and ralcmg(1) or gplot(1) then you can already convert to PNG and encapsulated PostScript and various CGM formats from existing VOGLE drivers; but the GNU Plotutils package supplies support of all these vector formats (plus PNG/PPM pixmaps) from one package. Should create a VOGLE-based reader too (that was the original idea) but vog driver is readable by USH already and plot(1) gives good access to other devices with no effort other than to build GNU plotutils and make some simple scripts to get "nice" page layouts. Note that use of GNU plot(1) was already possible with unixplot driver but color, fill, hardware text and linethickness were not supported and the unixplot file is binary and Endian-dependent. NEXT TIME IN: A variant where instead of each page being <o ... x> only one o and one x for entire document, so can display animations and not pop up huge numbers of X windows using the GNU plot(1) command if many frames in a file. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <math.h> #include "vogle.h" #define XSPACE_SIZE 65536 #define YSPACE_SIZE 65536 #define POINT(x, y) (0x10000 * (y) + (x)) #define MAXCOLOR 256 static int MAXCOLOR_used; #define MAX(x, y) ((x) > (y) ?
