SGT library. Any Swarm examples (Re: Java-based plotting

[Paul Johnson]

This note was from a while ago, but just today I looked again at SGT and 
it has a couple of terriffic features. One is that, after the graph 
comes up, it can open a tree where you can edit the graph's features 
interactively. Make the ticks on the lines point in our out, change 
labels, etc.  One of the major source of frustration I have with all 
ploting sofware so far is that you can't interactively "spruce up" a 
picture. (In Windows, I got addicted to a plotter called Axum, which 
became S+).

Anyway, I'm looking at SGT and wondered if anybody (including Buck) has 
tried it out with a swarm program. Can we see a program?

My example of a Swarm program using PtPlot is called JelFarol and it is 
in the swarm ftp already. Please regard that as my ante into this poker 
game.
