ABSTRACT

Plotting analytical functions y = F(x) or simply of (x, y) sets is something that everybody interested in computer graphics most likely has programmed, or at least attempted to do. ¬is is commonly required part of many applications, from mathematics to experimental data analysis. In this chapter, the D_2D program available with the book as Pascal source code (D_2D.PAS and UNIT_D2D.PAS) and as executable Œle (D_2D. EXE) will be introduced. D_2D has several features not yet available in popular so®ware like Excel, MathCAD, Mathematica, or MATLAB as follows:

1. ¬e size of the plot box can be precisely controlled by the user, advantageous when creating stacked graphs of the same height and/or width.
