CSC Plotting Package.

Abstract

The CSC plotting package is a computer software system for generating tabular graphs from United States Army personnel information. As input, the CSC plotting package accepts a sequential file of information built using the United States Army's SIR (Selective Information Retrieval) system. As output, the package generates an annotated histogram or pie chart derived from the sequential SIR file. SIR allows users to selectively define and build a retrieval file from an information data bank. The CSC plotting package synthesizes the retrieval file in generating a customized plot. The CSC plotting package accepts simple input commands for generating the tabular plots. Graphics output may be routed to any display device that supports line drawing capabilities. The plot package is functional in both batch and time-sharing environments. The CSC plotting package is written in ANSI Standard FORTRAN IV for compatibility among computing installations. The following sections of this report detail the general configuration of the package. Four appendices: describes the user interface (i.e., input commands); detail a sequence of example plots; describes the device-dependent graphics routines; and provide the general system schematic.
