369. APLPLOT: Computer Plotting System
by Alan P. Lundstedt, Department of Chemistry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 APLPLOT is a versatile, digital computer plotting program designed to produce two-dimensional plots of one or more sets of discrete experimental data and/or smooth power series curves with respect to a set of rectangular axes. An option is provided for plotting error bars at coordinates for which the associated experimental uncertainty exceeds the size of the respective data point symbol. The design of the plot is entirely controlled from input data, and all plot parameters have default values which may be selectively overridden. The line-printer output includes a descriptive summary of the plot parameters, tabular listing of experimental data, and special messages which are generated during program execution. The APLPLOT User's Guide provides a detailed description of the input parameters, several examples of input data with the corresponding plots produced, and discusses how the FORTRAN source program can be readily modified for compatibility with local software support of various digital plotters, such as CALCOMP and VERSATEC.
