NOTE:
NXplotNd is currently in beta testing (beta2 released 1/17/96). This is a public beta release, but keep in mind that there may be bugs (and some may be serious). NXplotNd comes with absolutely no warrantee, please read the disclaimer in the online help before using it. This public beta release is provided free of charge, but you will be asked to register the first time you use it. This is primarily for statitical uses. I will not contact you based on the registration unless you request it.

NXplotNd is a 2 thru n dimensional plotting program. It does many plots not supported by any other NeXTStep software (that I'm aware of). Other than simple 2d line/symbol plots it will do 3d surface plots, volume vis. contours, and many others. The paradigm used by the program is very flexible, but gives the
program a pretty steep initial learning curve. It comes with a set of demos
which double as tutorials. I would strongly suggest looking over the demos or
looking over the online help. Otherwise you may have a frustrating initial
exprience. I also added a 'Quickplot' button which is a good way to get into
the program.

IMPORTANT
---------
I have compiled for a couple of different arch. combinations. These
packages are NOT installer packages. To unpack them, change to your home
directory and type:

'gnutar -xvzf <archive pathname>'

This will put NXplotNd.app in your home Apps directory and will put the plot
modules in your home Library directory in a NXplotNd subdirectory. I will
make an installer package sometime in the future. If you wish to install
the package for general use on your machine/cluster, the application can be put in /LocalApps and the NXplotNd subdirectory in ~/Library can be moved to /LocalLibrary.

NXplotNd10b2.I.b.tgz        Binaries compiled intel-only.
NXplotNd10b2.N.b.tgz        Binaries compiled next-only. MAY work with 3.0 and
                            above (untested).
NXplotNd10b2.NIHS.b.tgz     Binaries compiled quad-fat.
NXplotNd10b2.demos.tgz      Demo files (some new ones for 1.0 beta 2). Work 
                            best on color machines.
NXplotNd.demos.bw.tar.gz    Some older demos which were 'fixed' for use on
                            non-color machines.
