A software package for the hardcopy graphic display of two-dimensional data had been developed. It is written in BASIC and is compatible with a microcomputer interfaced to an intelligent digital plotter. The core of the package is a plotting program. It features a command menu that displays 15 user-controllable parameters. Most of these parameters are automatically tabulated and can be changed in an interactive manner. The data which is plotted is either entered by hand or read from pre-existing data files. The package has several other important features. One subroutine within the plotting program determines and draws the best fit of a curve through a set of points. Using another program, the user can edit and manipulate the information contained in data files. All the program commands are written in simple and precise language, therefore the user needs no previous experience with computers. Furthermore the programs can be easily modified to suit personalized needs.
已经开发出一个用于二维数据硬拷贝图形显示的软件包。它用BASIC语言编写，与连接到智能数字绘图仪的微型计算机兼容。该软件包的核心是一个绘图程序。它有一个命令菜单，显示15个用户可控制的参数。这些参数大多会自动制成表格，并且可以以交互方式更改。所绘制的数据要么手动输入，要么从预先存在的数据文件中读取。该软件包还有其他几个重要特性。绘图程序中的一个子程序可确定并绘制一条穿过一组点的最佳拟合曲线。使用另一个程序，用户可以编辑和处理数据文件中包含的信息。所有程序命令都用简单精确的语言编写，因此用户无需具备计算机方面的先前经验。此外，这些程序可以很容易地修改以满足个性化需求。
