1What Gri is
2===========
3
4Gri is a language for scientific graphics applications.  By 'language'
5I mean that it is a command-driven application, as opposed to a
6click/point application.  It is analogous to latex or tex, and shares
7the property that extensive power is the reward for tolerating a
8learning curve.  Gri output is in PostScript, suitable for
9incorporation in documents prepared by various text processors.
10
11Gri can make x-y graphs, contour-graphs, and image graphs.  In
12addition to high-level capabilities, it has enough low-level
13capabilities to allow users to achieve a high degree of customization.
14Control is extended to all aspects of drawing, including
15line widths, colors, and fonts.  Text includes a subset of the tex
16language for letters and mathematical symbols in labels.

19Compiling and Installing Gri
20============================
21
22The normal case is to have received the Gri source as a so-called
23"tarball".  If that is how you got Gri, then you should type
24	./configure
25	make
26	make install
27at the shell to create and install Gri.
28
29A less common case is to have received Gri from the CVS server.  This
30is the method used by co-developers or packagers, and also by folks
31who are testing pre-release versions.  In this case, you need to type
32	aclocal
33	autoconf
34	automake
35first to create some configuration files, and then you type
36	./configure
37	make
38	make install
39as usual.

1Compiling and Installing Gri
2============================
3
4To install Gri, type
5
6    ./install
7
8and answer the questions.  Basically, you'll be telling the installer
9where to put the Gri executable, various library files, and a long
10list of documention files.

13What Gri is
14===========
15
16 Gri is a language for scientific graphics applications.  By 'language'
17 I mean that it is a command-driven application, as opposed to a
18 click/point application.  It is analogous to latex or tex, and shares
19 the property that extensive power is the reward for tolerating a
20 modest learning curve.  Gri output is in industry-standard PostScript,
21 suitable for incorporation in documents prepared by various text
22 processors.
23
24 Gri can make x-y graphs, contour-graphs, and image graphs.  In
25 addition to high-level capabilities, it has enough low-level
26 capabilities to allow users to achieve a high degree of customization.
27 Precise control is extended to all aspects of drawing, including
28 line-widths, colors, and fonts.  Text includes a subset of the tex
29 language, so that it is easy to incorporate Greek letters and
30 mathematical symbols in labels.

1What Gri is
2===========
3
4Gri is a programming language for scientific graphics.  It can make
5x-y graphs, contour-graphs, and image graphs.  In addition, Gri has a
6full suite of low-level graphical elements and sufficient programming
7capabilities (loops, subroutines, etc) to permit complex
8customization.
9
10Gri is not point-click.  In some ways it is analogous to TeX.
11Extensive power rewards tolerance of a modest learning curve.
12
13For the rest of this document, the symbol "N.N.N" will be taken to
14stand for the Gri version number, e.g. N.N.N might represent the
15version numbered 2.6.0, say.

17
18Obtaining Gri for RedHat
19========================
20
21Follow the links at
22    http://gri.sourceforge.net
23to get an RPM package, and then install it by doing
24    rpm -U gri-N.N.N-1.i386.rpm
25The source is also available as a gzipped tarfile and as an RPN source
26file.
27
28The package provides a cursory manpage, available by typing
29    man gri
30at the unix prompt; the main documentation is available in "info"
31format, by typing
32    info gri
33at the unix prompt (or through access by emacs or other facilities).
34Many users will find it easier to study the HTML version of the
35documentation, available at the local URL
36    /usr/share/doc/gri-N.N.N/html/index.html
