I managed to get PATHWORKS running on a Windows NT 4.0 VM last night and noticed that it came with Excursion, a rather good X server for Win32.
Anyway, I used that to log into RHESUS, launched a DECterm and ran gnuplot with ReGIS as output. The results are quite nifty I’m sure you’ll agree:
Here’s another one with ReGIS and SIXEL (DEC-specific bitmap format graphics), still in DECterm:
Would you be willing to generate a few examples of ReGIS and Sixel graphics for the articless on the wikipedia? I haven’t found any good examples yet.
Sure – I actually generated a couple images using the Unix “netpbm” tools and ImageMagick…
Basically (on a machine with netpbm and ImageMagick):
$ convert image.[png/jpg/etc] image.pbm
$ pbmtoln03 image.pbm image.sixel
Check out the samples in sixel.zip, here’s a screenshot of the two SIXELs:
Here’s some ReGIS output from gnuplot:
