GIFPlot is a very simple graphics library for building simple
image generation tools.  The library consists primarily
of a 2D and 3D plotting primitives that may eventually be used
to build a more sophisticated package.  Output is in the form
of GIF files.

"GIFPlot" is only a working name right now.  I need to come
up with something cooler (suggestions welcome).

*** Note *** 

Due to the Unisys enforcement of the LZW compression
patent, this version only produces uncompressed GIF images.
Resourceful programmers can probably figure out a better
method however...

1.   How to install

GIFPlot creates a C library.   To build the package type :

	./configure
	make

This will create a library in this directory for use.

2.  Documentation

Documentation is available as an HTML file in the Doc directory.

3.  Examples

Several C examples are available in the Examples directory.

4.  SWIG Examples

This example is provided with the SWIG distribution to demonstrate
a more sophisticated application with a variety of features.  The
subdirectories "Tcl", "Python", and "Perl" build different interfaces
to this package.  Makefiles are also provided for Unix, Win95/NT, and
Macintosh.

Bug reports, suggestions for improvements, and questions should be
send to beazley@cs.utah.edu.
