This paper describes the use of a high level plotting system that has been in use at Oklahoma State University for about one year. The use of this plotting package can save much time and money for installations which use the Calcomp plotter. The program is written in ANSI FORTRAN and permits a user to produce complete graphs on a Calcomp plotter. The plotting system itself uses the assembly routines provided by the plotter manufacturer, thus freeing the user from most of the detail involved in producing two‐dimensional plots. The plotting system plots and labels axes, produces interpolated and/or smoothed curves and performs other common plotting functions.
