Gri is a language for scientific graphics applications. By 'language' I mean
|
||
|
|
that it is a command-driven application, as opposed to a click/point
|
||
|
|
application. It is analogous to latex or tex, 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.
