idraw
The idraw
utility mentioned several times in this documentation
is a freely distributable interactive drawing editor for the X Window System. It can display and edit the output of any
application that uses the Postscript Plotter support contained in GNU
libplot
. That includes graph -T ps
, plot -T ps
,
pic2plot -T ps
, tek2plot -T ps
, and plotfont -T ps
.
The current version of idraw
is maintained by Vectaport, Inc.,
and is available at their Web site.
It is part of the ivtools
package, which is a framework for
building custom drawing editors. idraw
was originally part of
the InterViews
package, developed by Stanford University and
Silicon Graphics. The InterViews
package is available at
a distribution site, but is
no longer supported. Retrieving the ivtools
package instead
is recommended.
Also available at Vectaport's Web site is an enhanced version of idraw
called drawtool
.
drawtool
can import additional graphics in TIFF and PBM/PGM/PPM
formats, besides the X11 bitmaps that idraw
can import.
