Maker Interchange Format (MIF) driver Version 1.03
type: item
description: I've made a few substatial updates to my device driver that creates a MIF file from IDL plot commands, so here it is. The highlights include: -- Finally report out text width (man, what a pain!). Requires Environment variable FMHOME to be defined; not sure of portability problems with that...may need ifdef's in code to handle other OS's. If it can't find the font metric files, it assumes it is a fixed-width font, so it stays roughly right. This feature was implemented so that XYOUTS,width= works, which is important to routines like LEGEND. -- Changed resolution to 0.2pt to reduce need for extra decimal place in coords. -- In plotting, if a subsequent point in a line is at the same location within the 0.2pt resolution it is skipped. This shortens the file somewhat and may reduce some problems with dashed line styles. See the README for further details and implementation notes. #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive. Remove anything before this line, then unpack # it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing # files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via # unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you # will see the following message at the end: # "End of archive 1 (of 1)." # Contents: README Makefile frameimage.h mif.c # Wrapped by ryba@ulna on Tue Jan 30 16:15:16 1996 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb ; export PATH if test -f 'README' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'README'\" else echo shar: Extracting \"'README'\" \(6358 characters\) sed "s/^X//" >'README' <<'END_OF_FILE' X X IDL device driver for Maker Interchange Format (MIF) X X Version 1.03 - 30 January 1996 X X Martin Ryba, MIT Lincoln Laboratory X ryba@ll.mit.edu X X X IDL can link in routines from sharable object libraries via the XLINKIMAGE command.
