It will handle >many types of plots like log-log, log-normal, log-probability (only one I know >that can do this one - which I needed) , etc. It has very good capabilities Laser Graphics (shareware) can also do log-probability through the use of an optional Axis Specification File (ASF). I've used it to generate Weibull plots where the y-axis is something along the lines of ln(ln(1/(1-F))). The ASF file allows the user to explicitly specify where to draw tick marks, grid lines, and what values to associate with them. Laser Graphics handles 2-d, 3-d, scatter, and polar plots (sorry, no contour plots which was the original question in this thread). It supports Herc, CGA, EGA, and VGA monitors as well as Epson 9-pin, Epson 24-pin, IBM Proprinter, PCL-4 laser printers and PCL-5 laser printers (with data compression). Laser Graphics can be found on simtel20.army.mil as: PD1:LASER34a.zip through PD1:LASER34e.zip DISCLAIMER: I work with the author so I'm naturally biased. -- Scott Bostater Georgia Tech Research Institute - Radar Systems Analysis "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him" -Ps 62.1 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!bb16 Internet: bb16@prism.gatech.edu
