Paul,

Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to use the SGT in a Swarm program yet.
I will happily submit it to the ftp site, though, whenever that happy day
arrives. ;-)

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


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.
