GENPLT-II is a package of FORTRAN non-interactive graphic
subroutines which provide a wide variety of automatic
functions such as the plotting of scales and grids. Data
can be represented by plotted points or symbols, by solid or
dashed lines, or as shaded figures. Draftsman's Gothic and
Greek lettering are provided.
Further information concerning these routines has been
published in Volume 3 of "Computer Programs For Chemistry,"
W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1969 (edited by Delos F. DeTar).

Coupling GENPLT-II to a Particular Plotting Device
-------- --------- -- - ---------- -------- ------
The GENPLT-II subroutines produce graphic output on a
specific plotting device by calling a set of routines
provided by the user for that device. Several typical
packages of such coupling routines are supplied. If an
installation has a plotting device, some primitive routines
will probably be available for its use. One of the provided
coupling packages can then be modified to call these
primitive routines. The file PENTST is provided to test a
new or modified set of coupling routines. If the coupling
routines are operating correctly, this program will produce
3 versions of the Yale University crest.
Each of the coupling packages contains 5 simple routines
with a standardized argument list. These are as follow.
SUBROUTINE PENBGN(LASTX,LASTY,NEWX,NEWY)
called by the user to initialize any parameters needed
by the other routines of the coupling package. The most
important parameters are FACTOR which is the number of
plotter grid units corresponding to XWIDTH or YWIDTH
equal 1.0 (the maximum possible), and OFSETX and OFSETY
which are the coordinates of the plotter grid origin
stated in plotter grid units. PENBGN might also produce
an identification frame if used with a camera monitored
CRT, or might advance paper if used with a drum plotter.
SUBROUTINE PENHLT(LASTX,LASTY,NEWX,NEWY)
called by the user when a fresh plotting surface must be
provided. Would advance film in CRT camera or advance
the paper in drum plotter. For a flat-bed plotter,
would signal the operator to change paper. For a
storage CRT, would clear screen.
SUBROUTINE PENEND(LASTX,LASTY,NEWX,NEWY)
called by the user after all plotting has been
generated. For most devices would merely call PENHLT
again. Some systems might require calling an accounting
routine.
The arguments NEWX and NEWY for the above routines are
dummies not used by the routines. LASTX and LASTY are set,
if necessary, by these coupling routines for use when the
user calls the higher level GENPLT-II routines and contain
the present pen or CRT beam position coordinates for use in
interpolation between drawn lines.
Two additional coupling routines are called internally by
the GENPLT-II routines. These are as follow.
GENPLT-II, a General Plotting Package Page 3
SUBROUTINE PENUP(LASTX,LASTY,NEWX,NEWY)
moves the pen or CRT beam from the former position
LASTX, LASTY to the new position NEWX, NEWY without
drawing a line.
SUBROUTINE PENDWN(LASTX,LASTY,NEWX,NEWY)
draws a line from the former position LASTX, LASTY to
the new position NEWX, NEWY.
The following packages of coupling subroutines are provided.
The printer output package is written entirely in FORTRAN
and should work under any system. Printer representation of
plots is often useful if normal hardcopy graphic output is
either expensive or slow. The unit number NTAPE onto which
printer plots are output is set by PENHLT when this is
initially called by PENBGN and should be changed as
necessary.
File PRTPAC
contains the routines PENBGN, PENUP, PENDWN and PENEND
for producing printer or teletype plots using the
characters X and space. File PRTPAC must be used with
one of the following versions of PENHLT.
File PRTHLB
produces large printer plots 3 pages wide by 4 pages
high. Although designed for a printer with at least
122 characters per line, it is necessary to change
only 1 variable (ICHAR) to split the plot into
narrower columns for printing on a teletype.
File PRTHLC
produces a very low resolution plot on a single
printer page of 101 character width.
File XRXHLT
produces an output file containing duration and
intensity information for driving a Xerox
Telecopier. Custom built hardware and the routines
to drive this hardware are necessary to generate the
audio tones which control this device. The stylus
of the telecopier spins inside a rolled sheet of
carbon paper which in turn is inside a rolled sheet
of normal paper. The other printer coupling
routines can be used since both the printer and
telecopier are raster displays. The version of
PENHLT meant for the Telecopier is unusual in that
it allows both horizontal and vertical resolution to
be specified by a single variable.
File CALPAC
calls the standard Calcomp routine PLOT to produce plots
on Calcomp drum plotters. It may be necessary to
GENPLT-II, a General Plotting Package Page 4
restore the DIMENSION statement and the call to
subroutine PLOTS which appear as comment lines in
PENBGN. The following files are also provided.
File CALPLT
simulates the standard Calcomp routine PLOT.
Individual horizontal, vertical or diagonal motions
of the stepping motor are requested by calling a
routine named PLOTP. The routine PLOTP must be
written for the individual system.
File CALARD
simulates the above mentioned routine PLOTP for
monitoring on an ARDS graphic terminal. Routines in
the file ARDMAC are called for final output.
File ARDPAC
A very simple set of coupling routines which call the
routines in file ARDMAC for output on an ARDS (Advanced
Remote Display Station) storage tube terminal.
File ARDMAC
contains Macro routines for driving a dual scope
ARDS terminal with write-through cursor and with
Sylvania tablet interface. The entry points within
this file are described in the appendix.

Dimension Systems
--------- -------
The sizes and locations of items to be plotted are specified
in 3 different dimension systems.
1. User defined data has its own dimension system (which
can differ in the horizontal and vertical directions)
and is windowed into a plot area which can contain a
range of data extending in the horizontal direction from
XFIRST at the left edge to XFINAL at the right edge, and
in the vertical direction from YFIRST at the bottom edge
to YFINAL at the top edge. Similarly, routine BARPLT
requires the maximum sum of the segments of an
individual bar be input in data coordinates as the
argument TOTAL.
2. The plot area into which the data are windowed has its
width XWIDTH, height YWIDTH, horizontal distance XCORNR
from the left edge of the maximum usable plotting
surface and vertical distance YCORNR from the lower edge
of the maximum usable plotting surface specified as
fractions of the width or height of the maximum usable
plotting surface. Similarly, the argument HEIGHT which
defines the height of captions plotted by routine WRDPLT
and of numbers plotted by routine NMBPLT is specified as
a fraction of the height of the maximum usable plotting
surface.
3. The heights of scale captions and of scale numbers and
of scale tick marks, the heights of characters used to
represent data or used as the tips of arrows, and the
lengths of the dashes and of the spaces of dashed lines
used to represent data, are specified in units which are
1/50th of the height of the plot area. Use of this
relative unit for the specification of the arguments
RELHIT, RELSPC and RELARO allow the proportions of a
plot to be independent of changes in its overall size.
For example, if data ranging from 0.001 to 0.002 in the
horizontal direction and from 1200.0 to -300.0 in the
vertical direction were to be plotted in a centered plot
area having width 0.6 of the maximum possible width and
having height 0.5 of the maximum possible height, then
XFIRST = 0.001
XFINAL = 0.002
YFIRST = 1200.0
YFINAL = -300.0
XWIDTH = 0.6
YWIDTH = 0.5
XCORNR = 0.3
YCORNR = 0.25
GENPLT-II, a General Plotting Package Page 6
The decreasing vertical scale causes difficulty for neither
the data plotting routines nor for the scale plotting
routine.
These arguments, and the XPOINT and YPOINT data actually
being represented are diagramed below.

Selection of Character Strings for Plotting Captions
--------- -- --------- ------- --- -------- --------
Since the GENPLT-II fonts were originally developed for use
on an IBM 7094 computer, only the characters in the BCD
character set can be used in input strings. These allowed
characters include the upper case Roman alphabet, the
numerals 0 through 9, and the 11 other characters left
parenthesis, right parenthesis, comma, apostrophe, period,
plus sign, minus sign, asterisk, slash, equals sign and
dollar sign (used as a non-plotting control character). All
other characters will be translated to blanks (spaces) prior
to being plotted.
The basic version of the lettering routine (FONT1C) plots
only horizontal or vertical upper case Roman block letters.
Plotting of the string is terminated whenever a $ (dollar
sign, not alt-mode) is encountered as a character to be
plotted. The caption
THIS IS A SAMPLE TITLE
could be plotted if the following Hollerith field were to be
included as one of the caption arguments (such as NAMELX,
NAMELY etc. of a CALL SCLPLT statement).
23HTHIS IS A SAMPLE TITLE$
It will be noted that the $ must be included in the
character count and that this character count can be less
than the 72 maximum. In effect, the terminal $ prevents the
plotting as random characters of the unspecified portion of
the caption.
The advanced version of the lettering routine (LTRPLC) can
plot lettering at any angle, and interprets the character
following a $ in a plotted alphameric string as an option
selector rather than as a character to be plotted. A blank
(space character), zero or any other character not used for
particular options following a $ causes termination of
plotting of the string. The digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 select
Roman upper case, Roman lower case, Greek upper case and
Greek lower case respectively (in fonts 7 and 8, semi-script
Roman is selected rather than Greek by $3 and $4). Roman
upper case lettering is initially provided, however this
alphabet and case are not automatically reset by succeeding
calls to the lettering program. The sample caption given
above could be plotted with the first letter in each word in
upper case by using the following string.
40H$1T$2HIS $1I$2S $1A S$2AMPLE $1T$2ITLE$
Greek letters are identified in the character strings by the
Roman letters having the same numerical positions within the
corresponding alphabets. For example, $3X would refer to
upper case omega, the 24th character in the Greek alphabet.
Italic lettering, size modification, and sub-superscripting
are provided by the following option selector character
GENPLT-II, a General Plotting Package Page 8
pairs.
$$ selects italic lettering.
$* selects lettering and intercharacter spacing both of
3/2 normal size.
$/ selects lettering and intercharacter spacing both of
2/3 normal size.
$+ selects superscript lettering.
$- selects subscript lettering.
$) selects lettering 3/2 normal width.
$( selects lettering 2/3 normal width.
$= causes return to normal upper case Roman.
These options are cumulative until the entire group is reset
by termination of plotting of the string or by the $= option
selector pair. If italic superscripting had been requested
by a $$$+ or $+$$ selector set, italic subscripting could be
simply obtained by use of the $- selector pair (though a
redundant $$ would cause no harm). However to obtain normal
size italic lettering under the same initial conditions, it
would be necessary to use a $=$$ option selector set, since
the $= option selector pair would remove the italic slant as
well as cause return to the normal lettering size.
A comma following a dollar sign can be used to backspace.
Such a backspace has the same width as have most of the
upper case Roman letters and as have all the digits and
punctuation marks and upper and lower case Greek letters. A
period following a dollar sign can be used to shift the
plotted output to a new line, similar to incrementing the
LINE argument of routine WRDPLT. The new line command
should only be used, however, if the lettering is being left
justified.
One of the following fonts must be loaded if file LTRPLC is
used. This additional file contains the lettering
coordinates. FONT6A is recommended for normal use.
FONT2 primitive upper and lower case Roman and upper
and lower case Greek.
FONT3 rounded (but not standard draftsman) upper and
lower case Roman and upper and lower case Greek.
FONT4 outline sans-serif upper and lower case Roman
(matches single stroke draftsman's Roman).
FONT5 outline Caslon upper and lower case Roman
(classic outline serif).
FONT6A draftsman's upper and lower case Roman and upper
and lower case Greek.
FONT7 draftsman's upper and lower case Roman and upper
and lower case fore-hand semi-script.
FONT8 draftsman's upper and lower case Roman and upper
and lower case back-hand semi-script.
FONT9 draftsman's upper and lower case Roman (same as
in fonts 6, 7 and 8 with no alternate alphabet).

Routines in the GENPLT-II Package
-------- -- --- --------- -------
AROPLT plots arrows with letters as head and tail.
BARPLT plots bar charts.
DIMPLT hatches any irregularly shaped closed figure for
which the user has supplied X and Y coordinate
arrays. The hatch lines with which the figure is
shaded can be drawn at any angle. Unlike DRKPLT
described below, DIMPLT results in a slight
precision loss in the input arrays. Both DIMPLT and
DRKPLT window the shaded figure onto the plot area.
DRKPLT hatches with horizontal and/or vertical shading
lines any irregularly shaped closed figure for which
the user has supplied X and Y coordinate arrays.
DSHPLT plots X and Y arrays as a dashed line with user
defined dash and space lengths. The lengths of
dashes and of the spaces between them is independent
of the distances between consecutive points defining
the line. The line is windowed onto the plot area.
GENPLT plots user defined X and Y arrays as a set of
points, a continuous line, centered alphameric
characters, centered symbols (diamonds, hexagons
etc.) or as a set of lines connecting blank arreas
centered at the specified coordinates (to connect
points independently plotted as symbols or
characters).
GRDPLT plots grids which match the scales drawn by SCLPLT.
LINPLT plots a line from the point previously specified by
either PNTPLT or LINPLT.
NMBPLT plots a left justified, baseline centered or right
justified number at any angle and either with or
without decimal point.
PNTPLT plots individual points or the start of new lines.
SCLPLT plots a set of linear scales, either at the borders
of the rectangular plot area, or intersecting at
user chosen coordinates (not necessarily zero,zero
on the scale) to divide the plot area into
quadrants. the user has control over which borders
will bear tick marks, scale numbers and legends.
WRDPLT plots a left justified, baseline centered, or right
justified caption at any angle.

SUBROUTINE AROPLT(X1 ,Y1 ,X2 ,Y2 ,XFIRST,YFIRST,

RELHIT,RELSPC,RELARO,LASTX ,LASTY )
Routine to plot possibly dashed arrow with tail at point
X1,Y1 and with head at point X2,Y2.
The routines DSHPLT and WRDPLT are called. The lettering
routine capable of lettering at angles must be used.
The arrow can have one or more letters centered at head and
tail. These are specified as the strings IHEAD and ITAIL.
V's at both ends would give a double headed arrow. Each
string must be terminated by a dollar sign followed by a
blank (space character) or by some other dollar sign command
which would specify the end of the string to be plotted. If
no termination command is present within the string, a
maximum of 72 letters will be plotted.
A bar can be plotted at ends of arrow as a subscript minus
sign. It must be remembered that the width of a character
is usually 2/3rds of its height. To get bars with width
equal to height of other letters, the string '$)$--$ ' would
be used. The $* command character pair should not here be
used instead of the $) character pair since the $* would
also give an larger gap after the minus sign and lead to
slightly incorrect centering.

RELHIT,RELSPC,LASTX ,LASTY )
Routine to darken or hatch an irregularly shaped figure.
The plotted output is windowed onto the plot area. Unlike
output from DRKPLT, hatch lines can be at any angle. DIMPLT
rotates the input XPOINT and YPOINT arrays prior to
processing. These arrays are returned to their original
values before returning to the calling program, but the user
should be aware that there can have been a slight precision
loss. DRKPLT does not alter the contents of the input

plotting table origin to lower plot edge.
RELHIT = distance between alternate pairs of hatch lines in
units of 0.02*YWIDTH. RELHIT and RELSPC both set
at 1.0 would give 50 lines in distance
corresponding to height of the plot area.
RELSPC = distance between alternate pairs of hatch lines in
units of 0.02*YWIDTH.

Routine to plot data X and Y coordinate arrays as points, as
symbols, as characters, as connected lines, or as lines
connecting square blank areas (which are not outlined)
centered at the input coordinates. The plotting of a point,
or of a line segment to a point can be suppressed if the
point is outside the plot area. It must be noted that this
does not provide true windowing of a line connecting the
specified points. Routine DSHPLT should instead be used,
either with very long dashes or with zero length spaces
between dashes, to plot lines which require true windowing
onto the plot area.
GENPLT-II, a General Plotting Package Page 15

the ends of the scales to be drawn by SCLPLT. The
value of these output arguments will vary from the
input arguments only if MODE1 = 2.

LWORD = word array to be plotted. This must either be
specified as a string in the CALL WRDPLT statement
(either with a leading character count followed by
letter H, or with leading and trailing
apostrophes), or be an array with each character
byte being defined within each array element (4
letters per word for IBM 360 or IBM 370, 5 for
PDP-10, 6 for IBM 7094, 10 for CDC 60 bit

This would have the value 1 if lettering is to
include first character in word array.

INDEX.
YCORNR = vertical coordinate of lettering baseline. see
INDEX.
LASTX = last X grid coordinate plotted.
