Being stuck at home, was musing the idea to look into some graphics
software from the '70's, or early 80's ...
Looking for some wire frames, hidden line removal, 3d graphics...
Any pointers?
View month ago or longer, somebody on this list recovered some large
package of FORTRAN code, and wanted to invest it, but I think it was
posted under a wrong subject, so I can't find it anymore ...
THANKS!

I have been using PGPLOT but I guess you are aware of that.
https://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/
I also wonder if you might be interested in
https://github.com/rricharz/Tek4010
what I was looking for was a Calcomp Basic Plotting calls to HPGL as most of my plotters
are HPLG and would like to plot some of the Calcomp sample plots on them

Got similar interests here.? I've been using PGPLOT on the Vax since it
came out, the price was right!
Tried to get it to work with a Tektronix 4207, but something is a little
different between it and the 4105 series.
I was able to get an old version of Gnuplot (3.4) to compile and run on
a Vax alpha under Openvms 8.4.
It wouldn't compile on a 32 Vax under OpenVms 7.3, too bad, I had wanted
to run gnuplot on that machine.? Maybe I needed an older version of gnuplot.

That's pretty much the setup I was trying. VAX & PDP11, an some fun ;-)
However, a Tektronix Terminal is still not in the budget or space, so I
will probably go with the RPI 4 setup
https://github.com/rricharz/Tek4010
But probably just use a Ubuntu for the display, as it gives a better
resolution ...
CHEERS!

You've seen this, right?

Emanuel, I have you covered with FORTRAN graphics.
I have your 3d wireframe, and rendering too with MOVIE.BYU. The greatest 3D and animation
package in its day, say late 70's early 80s.
Martin Hepler gave me the latest, I got most of it working, but.... aaa well something
took me away.
Let me put it up somewhere.
I also have VERSAPLOT, the Versatec graphics package. Does one cool thing, since they
made electrostatic printers. Its got a Laing Barsky rasterizer in it. You do your plot
with all the great stuff, then it generates a vector list and rasterizes it for the
printer.
Give me a day and I will put it up somewhere.
Randy

Yes, that was the original packages I was referring to!
