NAME
wip - interactive plotting package with command line interface
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wip plotting package. This
manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because
the original program does not have a manual page.
Wip is a graphics software package available (at least) on Sun
Workstations, VAX/VMS systems, Linux machines, Cray/UNICOS, and CONVEX
systems. WIP is intended to be used to generate high quality graphics
(using the PGPLOT graphics library) with a minimum of effort.
OPTIONS
There are, at present, two ways to create plots with wip: interactively
or by reading plot command files from the command line. Command line
plotting is an efficient way to spool plots to a printer or to load
plot command files and macros when starting wip. Interactive plotting
consists of typing the commands that generate the plot, one at a time,
and seeing the results.
SEE ALSO
Documentation of the program can be found in the directory
/usr/share/doc/wip. Example wip programs are in
/usr/share/doc/wip/examples. The file /usr/share/doc/wip/.wipinit may
be copied over to $HOME and further customized for your preference.
