These work on VAX/OpenVMS and do various kinds of plotting on various devices. Look in DUA4:[MIIPS.PLOT] at vms.ucc.okstate.edu (anonymous ftp). There are some demos in that directory and some documentation in [MIIPS.DOC]. See V1CHAPT15.MEM and V3CHAPT07.MEM. The package can also write to an enhanced version of SAOImage (a pseodocolor display program for X Window). See SAO_INSTRUCTIONS.TXT in [MIIPS.DISPLAY] for OpenVMS and the same file in [MIIPS.UNIX.DISPLAY] for UNIX. Presently this package only works on VAX. I do have plans for porting it to Alpha but not in the immediate future. Since all the source code is available, you may want to have a go at it yourself.
