description: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------7A83A0A1267 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here (in two parts) is code that allows IDL to create plots in Maker Interchange Format (MIF), an ASCII file format that is importable into FrameMaker(TM) from Adobe Systems, Inc. This version is a small bugfix over version 1.05 posted in April 1996; it should be the final version because it fixes the last little annoying bug: previous versions had problems with images (from TV) that had an odd number of pixels per row. There are two versions of the source, one for IDL version 3.6 and earlier, and one for version 4.0 and later (verified to work under IDL 5.0.2). Makefile instructions for SunOS 4.1.x, 5.x (Solaris 2.x), SGI IRIX 5.2, and HPUX (non-functional?) are included; since there is nothing very special in the code it should compile fine on other platforms/compilers that support sharable library creation. If you compile this code on another platfrom, send the Makefile to me and I'll include the flags for future releases (if any). A sample procedure, loadmif.pro, is included to facilitate automatic loading of the proper shareable object given IDL version and OS release type. It may need customization for specifics of your installation. The driver supports nearly all constructs possible under the PostScript driver (fonts, etc.) and FrameMaker features like spot color. See the README for further information. This driver would make a good template for creation of one for Adobe Illustrator...anyone game? -- Dr. Marty Ryba | Of course nothing I say here is official MIT Lincoln Laboratory | policy, and Laboratory affililaton is ryba@ll.mit.edu | for identification purposes only, | blah, blah, blah, ... --------------7A83A0A1267 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="Part01" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Part01" #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive.
