OPlot V1.0 - A rich plot-program for the Amiga
              ©1993 by A.Maschke, all rights reserved.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. INTRODUCTION

 Oplot is one of the strongest plot-programs for the Amiga featuring:

    - multiple function-plots     \  at one time
    - multiple parametrical-plots  > including autoscaling
    - multiple data-plots         /  and sorting (data)
 
    - cubic-splines               \   data-plots
    - basic-splines (order=2..50) /

    - multiple plotstyles: lines, points, boxes and impulses

    - free pointsizing            \  this should be enough
    - 12 pointtypes                > for all
    - 3 pointmodes                /  purposes

    - logarithmical scales with base 2,e or 10

    - auto-/custom-tic-marks

    - all text is drawn using my own Vectorcharset featuring
      free sizing, tracking and rotating - special characters like
      'äöü$%?ß#^{}[]()' are supported, of course.

    - you can have so many open displays (plots) as you want

    - 6 screenmodes, overscan, 16 colors
    - intelligent screen-mode-handling: the text on a lores/nolace-display
      has the same size as on a superhires/interlace-display
    - ILBM-output

    - powerfull online-help

    - executing batchfiles
 
    - all calculations using LONGREAL's - fast as possible

    - ...

 2. GETTING STARTED

 Requirements:

 OS2.0 - I don't know about 1.3 - try it out.
 Libraries: asl/arp.library, mathtrans.library, mathieedoubbas.library and
            mathieedoubtrans.library.

 Because of many recursive procedures the stack-amount is high, set it to 
 100000. Then type 'OPlot'.
 That's it.

 NOTE: At first you should execute the batchfile 'Demo.bat' to see some examples
       typing 'oplot demo.bat'.

 3. DOCUMENTATION

 Because of the powerfull online-help there is no documentation here.
 Start OPlot and type 'help' so you get a list of available commands.
 Now type '?<command>' the get the description of <command>, use
 'example(<command>) to see some examples.
 That's it.

 4. ABOUT
 
 OPlot is completely written in OBERON-2 using the great Amiga Oberon Compiler
 from A+L AG CH written by Friedtjof Siebert - so I named it 'OPlot' - easy.

 The Source: about 15000 lines.
 
 5. COPYRIGHT

 Except me has nobody any rights on this software - all algorhitms are my own.
