What could be easier to use than an output command that brings up a graphics utility with calculated data displayed in a graph? Zoom buttons are to the left, values can be read by moving the mouse cursor to the desired point. If the calculation of a waveform takes some time, the graph will automatically grow while the results come pouring in. All of this can be achieved with a couple of commands piped to xmgrace. > There are toolkits for TCL designed for exactly this, so you would not > really be coding it from scratch.

You get a simple plot plus an interface for advanced usage for free. No printing issues to worry about, no user whining on missing options to beautify the graphs. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
