Summary: A language for scientific illustration
Description:
Gri is a language for scientific graphics programming. It is a command-driven application, as opposed to a click/point application. It is analogous to latex, and shares the property that extensive power is the reward for tolerating a modest learning curve. Gri output is in industry-standard PostScript, suitable for incorporation in documents prepared by various text processors. Gri can make x-y graphs, contour-graphs, and image graphs. In addition to high-level capabilities, it has enough low-level capabilities to allow users to achieve a high degree of customization. Precise control is extended to all aspects of drawing, including line-widths, colors, and fonts. Text includes a subset of the tex language, so that it is easy to incorporate Greek letters and mathematical symbols in labels. The following is a terse yet working Gri program. If it is stored in a file called 'example.gri', and executed with the unix command 'gri example', it will create a postscript file called 'example.ps' with a linegraph connecting data points in the file called `file.dat'. open file.dat # open a file with columnar data read columns x * y # read first column as x and third as y draw curve # draw line through data (autoscaled axes)
