At its heart lie over two dozen high-level Fortran-callable utilities for contouring, mapping, drawing field flows, drawing surfaces, drawing histograms, drawing X/Y plots, labeling, and more. The package includes an ANSI/ISO standard version of GKS, written in FORTRAN 77. Currently two graphics output options are included: a device-independent private encoding of the ANSI/ISO Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) standard and X11 commands. Recent improvements in NCAR Graphics include more color options, a raster viewing library that allows you to translate between various CGM and raster formats, and a robust animation tool. Future improvements will include a full programming language for data selection, manipulation, and display, a high-level programmatic interace with both C and FORTRAN bindings, a graphical user interface (GUI), the capability to draw color and monochrome weather maps, and a direct PostScript driver. <description><url>file://ftp.ucar.edu/ncarg/http/index.html</url> <reference><url>file://ftp.ucar.edu/ncarg/http/ncarg3.2.1/doc/index.html</url> <contact>ncargfx@ncar.ucar.edu <keywords>computer graphics <category>data-analysis-vis <publication-date> <environment>Fortran 77 <method> <application> <comments> </urc>
