NAME

VOPL - A very ordinary plotting library.

DESCRIPTION

VOPL is a library of C routines for doing graph plots. It handles a variety of fits and scalings, together with providing defaults for positioning graph titles, axis titles, and labels. VOPL may be called from C or FORTRAN.

vp_adjustscale(points, number, axis)
Adjust the auto scaling on the axis for the points in points.

        Fortran:
                subroutine vp_adjustscale(points, number, axis)
                real points(number)
                integer number
                character *1 axis

        C:
                vp_adjustscale(points, number, axis)
                        float   points[];
                        int     number;
                        char    axis;

vp_range(min, max, axis)
Specify the range min to max for the the axis.

        Fortran:
                subroutine vp_range(min, max, axis)
                real min, max
                character *1 axis

        C:
                vp_range(min, max, axis)
