DISLIN is a high level and easy to use graphics library for displaying
data as curves, bar graphs, pie charts, 3D-colour plots, surfaces,
contours and maps. The software is available for several C and Fortran
compilers and hardware platforms.

DISLIN is free for DJGPP and for Linux, other versions cost a little
bit. DISLIN uses X11 on UNIX workstations and the GRX library for
DJGPP as graphical interfaces. The source code of programs are identical
for both platforms.

DISLIN is available from the FTP site:

     ftp://linhmi.mpae.gwdg.de/pub/dislin

A DISLIN manual in PostScript form is given in
