This document explains how to use a utility that can plot x-y data and bar-charts, and generate a DrawPerfect WPG graphics file. The format of a sample input text file (using the default page style) is described, and the graphics file it generated was printed on an HP LaserJet IV and is attached. Also attached are output graphs that demonstrate additional page styles. This utility lets you quickly generate x-y graphs and bar-charts for inclusion in WordPerfect documents. R was written because no other readily-available graphics package lets you overlay independent x-y curves on top of one other. Lotus 1-2-3, Harvard Graphics, and FoxGraph require all curves on the same page to have one common column of independent x-values or y-values. We were stuck in manual loops of cutting and pasting curves from one plot to another before they were included in our documents. Not any more! This document describes how to overcome this problem
