A friend of mine is looking for some kind of graphics software for the PC
that meets the following requirements:

-Ability to use the Hercules graphics board.

-Ability to do 2-d graphics (3-d would be nice)

-Labeling of x and y axes, a heading, and user defined points
 to do other labeling as well (that is, you can label at a
 given coordinate on your plot)

-Direct reference to plotting coordinates (GRAPHX, for instance,
 must have points translated to the screen matrix it knows about)

-Some kind of automatic numbering on the axes

-Ability to label in at least two directions (horizontally and
 vertically, the latter useful for y axis labeling)

I believe that a package intended for plotting scientific/engineering data
would be more appropriate than a business package.  Fortran callable
routines (if applicable) would be prefered.

If you have any suggestions, please send mail to taw@cmu-ri-fas, or
you can speak to Aaron Tanzer directly at (412)578-3717.  Thanks in advance.
