cP Ver 2.206  by Chris Conger

cP is a data viewing program capable of plotting
two dimensional data in both linear or log space
with or without symbols. The program only runs
from the CLI. It requires Kickstart 37 or higher
to run. There is no limit to the number of points
that the program can load except the amount of ram
on your system. There is also no limit to the
number of sets, however the title boxes on the edge
will scroll off the screen after about ten. cP does
create a public screen, so you can use it for other
applications. Its' name is cP. If there is already
a cP screen in the public screen list cP will append
a number to the screen name ( cp1.. ).

If you don't like the name cP (similar to c++) feel
free to rename it to whatever. cP stands for ChrisPlot.

cP reads an environmental variable at startup
which can be used to change the default values of
the settings. The name of the var is CPCONFIG. Any
options given on the command line will override the
environmental variable.

	EX:
	  > setenv cpconfig "ID=32768 FONT helvetica SIZE 9 GRID SETDEF W=1000"

The template is:

FILES/A/M,LOGX/S,LOGY/S,GRID/S,SYM/S,ID=DISPLAYID/N/K,FONT/K,SIZE/N/K
	,LORES/S,HIRES/S,LACE/S,SETDEF/S,W=WIDTH/N/K,H=HEIGHT/N/K

FILES - This can be multiple args and includes
	   Wildcard patterns. The files must be
	   ascii numbers delimited by whitespace
	   or commas. cP will ignore numbers after
	   the first two colums. cP will also ignore
	   text lines so that you can place a header
	   in the file. See file sample.dat to see the
	   format. Also remember that cP stores its'
	   values as 4 byte floats, so don't have any
	   values outside of 1e-38 to 1e38.

LOGX -  Switch to turn log XAxis on. If any values are LESS
        THAN or = to ZERO, sets back to LINX.
        ( Can't do log negative ).

LOGY -  Switch to turn log YAxis on. If any values are LESS
        THAN or = to ZERO, sets back to LINY.
        ( Can't do log negative ).

GRID -  Switch to turn on the grid.

SYM  -  Draw x symbol at each point.

ID=DISPLAYID - ID number of the type display you
        wish to create. Default is HIRES LACE.
        EX:
           ID=4     -> LORES LACE 320x400
           ID=32768 -> HIRES      640x200
           ID=0     -> LORES      320x200

        I don't have the includes for 2.1 or 3.0, so
        can't tell you what the others are. cP needs
        16 colors, so SuperHires won't be any good.
        Super72 should be good I think ( I don't know
        the ID number though ).

FONT - Name of the font to use for the display. The
       default is topaz. cP adds '.font' to the string.
       EX:
           FONT helvetica SIZE 12

SIZE - Size of the font. Default 8. Max size 18.

LORES - Lores screen
HIRES - Hires screen
LACE  - combine with either LORES or HIRES this function OR's
        the LACE key over DISPLAYID and LORES/HIRES.

SETDEF - Makes the new screen the default public screen.

W=WIDTH - Set screen width in pixels. cP will open a virtual
		autoscroll screen if WIDTH is wider than display.
		EX. W=1800

H=HEIGHT - Set screen height in pixels. cP will open a virtual
		autoscroll screen if HEIGHT is taller than display.
		EX. H=800


EXAMPLE COMMAND:

      > cp sam#?.dat font ZapfChancery size 12 ID=0 LACE SYM LOGX W=1500


IDENTIFY - cP will write the x and y values cooresponding to mousex and
		mousey when select down. If the mouse is not within three pixels
		when selectup then cP erases the text, otherwise it makes the text
		white.

The archive contains only an IEEE math compiled
version.

Much thanks since I'd never have gotten anywhere without
it. The current version of the GUI has been modified
so that GadToolsBox can't edit the source anymore.
