In this paper we describe the main features of a small-scale plotting language used to produce medical data forms. It requires no previous knowledge of computers and is easily learned and used. Its use at the Statistical Laboratory at the State University of New York at Buffalo has resulted in considerable time savings, a greater unification of data items and data forms, and an increase in the quality of data collected.
在本文中，我们描述了一种用于生成医学数据表单的小型绘图语言的主要特性。它不需要用户预先具备计算机知识，而且易于学习和使用。在纽约州立大学布法罗分校统计实验室对其的使用，已节省了大量时间，使数据项和数据表单更加统一，并提高了所收集数据的质量。
