Have you ever wanted to graph data points generated by a running program, in real time? The standard Unix graph(1) won't do this, and neither will GNU graph, as of release 0.17 of the graphics package. Instead of acting as a filter, both wait until the input stream has been closed before plotting the data. I have now fixed this problem. The file coral.math.arizona.edu:/pub/graph/graph-0.17-RSM.tar contains dropin replacements for three of the files in the `graph' subdirectory of the GNU graphics package. If these modified versions are used, graph will act as a filter. Provided, that is, the user specifies the minimum and maximum values of x and y on the command line. That's the most one could ask for. This is not an official GNU release (though the code is offered to GNU). My code seems pretty reliable (it's a straightforward rewrite of Rich Murphey's original code, which is _very_ reliable). But like Rich's code, it must be considered an alpha release. Any comments on my implementation of this new feature should be sent to _me_, not the GNU folks! I hope it proves useful. -- Robert S.
