UGLI/PC
A Universal Graphics Library Insta-Plot for Micro and Mini - Computers
The Universal Graphics Library (UGL) is a high-level FORTRAN graphics library designed to
support applications in engineering, scientific, and business environments. UGL's integrated routines
allow programmers to generate graphics with the wide range of capabilities. Universal Graphics Insta-
Plot (UGLI) is but one of many applications that UGL supports, and was primarily developed to allow
"quick and dirty" plots to be made without the necessity of requiring a user to write applications linked
with UGL by writing FORTRAN Code. UGLI can easily generate a number of different types of
graphical plots, depending on the user's needs. It can be started either interactively or from previously
created data files that are ASCII formatted text files. These data files may be generated by UGLI itself or
by an independent application. All that is required is the data that defines what needs to be viewed, i.e.,
typical X-Y data pairs.
For many years, engineering and scientific applications have been executed on mainframe or midsize
computers. Very large investments have been made in not only the software developments, but also in
the associated data files that have been accumulated throughout the years. UGLI is structured to allow
maximum usage of existing data files with minimum interactive tailoring to suite the desired final look.
Thus, UGLI will allow an orderly migration path of existing data files to the PC environment. UGLI also
provides expanded capabilities to existing graphics without expensive up front development.
The Micro (PC), Mini (UNIX), LINUX and VAX/VMS and ALPHA/AXP version of UGLI is
compatible with these operating system platforms. The code is an executable 32-bit product. The same
version of the products is available for Networking Environment.
The main body of code is identical on all system. There are some variations in output devices that
are routinely supported. For example, on UNIX system, a X-Window Driver is normally the primary
interface to the user 9with a terminal interface for multi-user systems). On a PC, a VGA/SVGA driver
replaces this interface, and on other host systems, some terminal or printer is usually the preferred target
device.
The following list itemizes some of the capabilities of UGLI:
- Multiple plot type:
I. 2-D and 3-D graphs and plots.
II. Interactive processing for:
1. New TITLE(s)
2. New X-LABLE

5. Rescale Y-Axis(Axes)
6. NEW Input file
7. Point Connect(s) with/without/lines
8. Run-time EDIT File
9. Company Name
10. UGI and GAE LOGO
11. Change Output Device
12. Date on plot (On/Off)
