Here's a slightly improved growth curve plotting program:
http://www.psnw.com/~alcald/LenghtInfantPlot.tcl

This one plots the data for the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles from the 
infant length file:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/nhanes/growthcharts/Lenageinf.txt

Save the Lenageinf.txt file in the same directory as the program file.

 From Unix or Linux,
Assuming you have Tcl/Tk installed on your system, you can run it like this:

wish Lenageinf.txt Patient_Name 1  
for the boys' data

or

wish Lenageinf.txt Patient_Name 2
for the girls' data

I plan on using this in Tkfp,  but
 I commented out the code used in Tkfp to retrieve and plot the 
patient's progress notes data
over the encrypted socket, although you can still read it if you are 
interested.

 I plan on doing the head circumference next and adding some controls so 
you can choose
which range of percentile curves you want to plot from the CDC data.
