Software: ContourGL

About

ContourGL is a simple open-source (GPL), OpenGL/GLUT-based contour plotter that I'm writing for fun. Eventually, I'll interface it with EasyBMP to provide for easy graphic output, add nice labels, create zoom/pan capabilities, and so forth. Here's a typical screenshot:

ContourGL is written in C++ and was designed to be cross-platform compatible; it should compile and work on Mac OSX and Linux just fine. A Windows binary (exe) file is included.

Downloading ContourGL

ContourGL requires the following libraries:

SimpleArray add-on from the EasyBMP library.

What's new in Version 0.25

Version 0.25 is the first public release of ContourGL. It provides basic functionality of opening an ASCII data file, detecting contours, and plotting them with attractive colors.

How to Use It

Running the Program

Running ContourGL is easy:

C:\ContourGL data.dat

where data.dat is your data file. ContourGL will then request that you input the number of contours you desire and plot the result.

In-Program Keystrokes

The following keystrokes work in ContourGL:

Key:	Function
Q	Quit program
L	Toggle line thickness
S	Toggle window size
R	Reset plot
T	Transpose roles of x and y
