Greatly eased effort to create publication-quality graphics #410

Open karlmsmith opened 6 years ago

Reported by steven.c.hankin on 2 Jun 2004 18:51 UTC The process of creating publication graphics from Ferret could be eased by two significant changes 1) WYSIWYG controls to alter layout, labels, annotations, etc. 2) output in Windows metadfile (or other) document-friendly graphics format

A natural solution to both of these is through the use of Don Denbo's Java- based SGT. A phased approach to achieving this might be

phase 1: a) Add a /LOG=filename option to Ferret graphics commands that results in a log of graphics commands (axes, tics, labels, etc.). This command should also save the data that is passed to PLOT+. b) Create a modified version of the ncBrowse program that can read this log file and then allow users to make WYSIWYG changes and metafiles

phase 2: Create a process-to-process communications so that the preceding can happen without the user managing a separate log file. e.g. SHADE/SGT ...

phase 3: (optional) Full integration of SGT and Ferret.
